Aquawrap® is a factory-wetted fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composite system. This system cures on contact with water, either from air humidity or applied moisture. It even cures under water.

Furnished resin-wetted and uncured, in rolls, (see photo, right) Aquawrap® ships to the field inside hermetically sealed metallized pouches.

To use the product, you just tear open the pouch and start wrapping or laying up onto the surface to be repaired or encapsulated.

Initial hardening happens in about an hour, with substantial strength in a couple of hours.

Aquawrap® is a serious composite product. It may look similar to some weak products that flooded the market over the years, but testing shows (and field installations have proven) that our product is unique -- and incredibly strong.

Aquawrap® comes in "tear open" packaging ready to be applied to your pipeline. More customizable prepared kits or products are available with desired performance characteristics or properties. PowerWrap will help you choose the right product to suit your needs. Our Aquawrap® water activated prepreg wrap is the most common product used. Different fabric weaves can be used in circumstances where dents or T's might need wrapping.

Aquawrap® Composites are marketed by Powerwrap, LP and can be installed easily on straight pipe, elbows, tees, offshore risers, underwater, flange reducers, and used on saddle repairs for crevice corrosion and dent gouges. It can be installed on all specified pipelines including API-SL, ASTM and AWWA.

The standard Aquawrap® system features include:

• Economical material cost
• DOT compliant
• Similar to steel in strength properties - fiber reinforced polymer (FRP)
• Repairs allow pipeline to be returned to 100% of its maximum allowable operating pressure
• Excellent toughness, resists cracks
• Easy & fast to install in hours with minimal OQ training
• Fiber oriented in both hoop & transverse directions to take load off the defect
• Cures with normal water, no special additives needed
• Quick working cure allows back fill of dig within 2 hours
• No welding or lifting equipment required
• Polyurethane based - resistant to corrosion
• Non-hazardous shipping, odorless and non-flammable no VOC's
• Certified to ANSI/NSF 61
• Can be installed without pipe shutdown
• Able to wrap around keys, elbows and T's
