Composite Repair for Pipe suffering from External Damage
REINFORCEKiT® 4D-EC (R4D-EC) is a long-term composite repair system for pipes suffering from external corrosion and mechanical damage.
The original Brisma Africa concept is an association of Kevlar® tape and specific bi-component epoxy resin called R3X1060.
REINFORCEKiT® 4D is a wet lay-up system, wrapped helicoidally around the pipe in order to bring the mechanical resistance to the damaged pipe section.
Designed according to ISO 24.817 and ASME PCC-2 standards, this product will restore pipe original integrity. There is no limit in terms of pipe diameter and pressure, and it could be used without shutdown from -50°C up to +55°C | (-58°F to +131°F).
We have developed our own software R.E.A (Reinforcekit Engineering Analysis) to design the composite repair and define the material requirements in accordance with international standards.
