FibaRoll

General Description

A fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP), delivered on rolls as a tacky solid and cured by exposure to light. The curing mechanism is relatively unaffected by ambient temperature - FibaRoll can be cured at minus 15°C. Unlike many polymers, the active curing ingredient is very stable until exposed to light when it cures the polymer rapidly. FibaRoll can be stored in temperatures below 25°C for twelve months and can be cured in less than sixty minutes.

Roll Dimensions

50mm to 1000mm wide by 10m long
Thickness: 1 - 2mm.

Key features (once cured)

•  mechanically strong with good flexural and tensile strength
•  highly resistant to foot traffic
•  excellent adhesion to steel at terminations
•  good resistance to UV and chemicals generally
•  cures in less than sixty minutes
•  easily applied at inexpensive labour rates
•  three main grades available, optimised for different uses - FibaRoll FR M1,
   FibaRoll ISO and FibaRoll VECR.

FibaRoll FR M1

This grade has been developed specifically for its fire and smoke properties, to meet the requirements of the offshore oil and gas and maritime markets as well as some of the more stringent onshore oil and gas requirements. FibaRoll FR M1 is difficult to ignite, has a short burn time, self-extinguishes and has low levels of smoke. The system contains no halogens and therefore when burnt releases no toxic gases or dense black smoke.

The Independent Fire Tests successfully passed include: ASTM E84 15/50, Epiradiateur Test NFP92-501 M1, IMO A653 and IMO MSC 61 and BS476.

This grade has been specified by leading oil and gas Supermajors and CINI to clad and seal insulation materials. FibaRoll is usually specified in the temperature range from -160°C to +120°C to prevent heat gain and Corrosion under Insulation "CUI".

FibaRoll has been applied successfully in very cold climates like Sakhalin, Russia (400,000sqm), wet climates like Singapore/China petrochemical plants (350,000sqm) as well as Europe and the Middle East. The installed base totals over one million sqm, attracting new users every year.

FibaRoll ISO and VECR

These grades were developed to provide excellent corrosion and chemical resistance combined with mechanical resistance. Many coatings and tapes fail simply from mechanical damage.

Typical applications include the protection of buried pipes, protection of field welds, protection of steel and concrete against chemicals and protection at pipe support areas.
