Viper-Skin™ Carbon Fiber Composite Reinforcement System

Viper-Skin™ is the first bi-axial, hybrid carbon and glass fiber polyurethane pre-impregnated system that blends the unsurpassed strength and stiffness of carbon with the ease of use of a moisture-cured pre-preg. This operator qualified engineered system was designed to conform to and recognized by ASME PCC-2, ASME B31, ISO TS24817, DOT, API, and CSA Z662 standards for nonmetallic reinforcing solutions, thus ensuring product application integrity. As a result of the micro-controlled wet-out process, nearly perfect resin content and maximum, repeatable strength properties are attainable. The time and cost associated with in-field saturation of the composite is removed from the equation altogether and eliminate the inconformity caused by human variability. The moisture-curing properties of Viper-Skin allow for subsea and wet environment applications. The Viper-Skin solution conforms to all shapes, welds, and irregular geometries, and one size can be used on a variety of pipe diameters.
