Fibreglass resin composites are used as a perfect protection for anti-corrosion insulations during directional drilling (HDD, Direct Pipe) as a part of pipeline laying process. Outer diameters: from 88.9 to 1,220 mm, pipe length from 6 to 16 m.

Fabrication according to the National Technical Assessment or customer’s specification. Pipelines are particularly exposed to mechanical damage which may occur during directional drilling, ramming or other trenchless methods used in projects executed in difficult site conditions where very high loads exerted on the pipeline by the soil are expected. Use PROMGLASS® composite to protect your anti-corrosion insulation.

PROMGLASS® (standard)

Factory-applied PROMGLASS® fibreglass resin composite is composed of bands of glass fibre of proper basis weight and width, soaked with resin with properly composed additives. The production process ensures high compactness of the coating and eliminates the risk of delamination or separation.

PROMGLASS® Super-Bond

PROMGLASS® Super Bond is a new and innovative solution in the European market.

PROMGLASS® Super Bond offers innovative chemical bond to the anti-corrosion insulation surface to ensure good adhesion on every square centimetre. PROMGLASS® Super Bond has all the mechanical properties of standard composites with an extra shear strength of the value exceeding 100 N/cm2 and chemical adhesion over the whole area of the insulation surface.
