FIBAROLL® is mechanically strong, chemical resistant and has exceptional adhesion qualities. FIBAROLL® is a unique form of Fiber Reinforced Plastic "FRP" in an easy to use system delivered on rolls 600mm x 10 m and ranging 1mm to 2mm thick. FIBAROLL® has excellent mechanical properties, adhesion to steel/concrete, chemical and temperature resistance and is UV stabilized. FIBAROLL® is specified by leading International Oil and Gas Companies.

	WHY FIBAROLL®?		Because it solves problems
	PROBLEM AREAS		OTHER TAPE SYSTEMS		FIBAROLL®
	Resistance to hydrocarbons and chemicals.		Poor resistance of bitumen based adhesives results in early destruction.		Resistant to hydrocarbons and a wide range of chemicals & acids at elevated temperatures.
	Resistance to abrasion and mechanical damage.		Easily damaged by sharp stones. Careful control of back fill is essential.		Inherently hard and strong with excellent impact and abrasion resistance.
	Resistance to soil stress.		Lack of adhesion between tape or shrink sleeve and steel his often compromised by soil movement.		Adhesion to primed steel and between FIBAROLL® layers is excellent in resisting soil stress. Systems are also available to achieve excellent adhesion to PE and PP.
	Resistance to high temperatures.		Bitumen based tapes and shrink sleeves reach 90?C at best.		FIBAROLL® systems have heat distortion temperatures as high as 160?C
	Pipe reinforcement.		None.		FIBAROLL® withstands 200 bar on perforated pipe.

Pipeline Rehabilitation FIBAROLL®, combined with CERAMAX®, will provide a unique system to reinstate the integrity of the pipeline. This system is designed specifically for pipes that are abrading or corroding internally. Asbestos Encapsulation When encapsulating asbestos insulated pipe line, there is no need to remove existing cladding or disturb the asbestos in any way. FIBAROLL® is applied over the top of the existing cladding in a cigarette wrap. Once cured by UV it provides a completely sealed unit, removing the risk of any fiber loss. It also provides very strong mechanical protection. Quality Control and Working Methods. FIBAROLL® is manufactured to the strictest standards of ISO 9001. This eliminates any variation in the mixing, delivering a constant quality controlled product.

			Tape/Butt Joint Working with FIBAROLL® requires no special equipment. On pipelines we adopt a cigarette wrap/butt joint method. The FIBAROLL® is cigarette wrapped around the substrate, each section butt jointing to the next. After cure a tape is applied over each joint.
			UV Stabilized FIBAROLL® exhibits excellent resistance to UV degradation and weathering.
			Applications FIBAROLL® is ideal for lining steel/concrete tanks, lining bund area and roof repairs etc.
			Used as a Wear Pad FIBAROLL® has excellent adhesion to steel. It provides long term trouble free protection in this vital area.
			Flat Roof Renovation Its strength and flexibility make FIBAROLL® ideal for flat roofs and roof gardens where access is important.

Case Study Application to Steel Vessel - Alcoa Requirements: A cladding that would totally seal a thermally insulated steel vessel and prevent corrosion under the insulation Had to be easily applied and repaired if required Solution: First Thermobreak Insulation was applied to the vessel. FIBAROLL® was then applied over the insulation and terminated directly onto the steel to create a tough egg shell like sealed cladding. The joints were rolled to create a impenetrable bonded joint. Each joint was overlapped by 30mm minimum. FIBAROLL® was applied to the cone section before installation. With this method, damage in transit could be easily repaired if required FIBAROLL® was easily cut and molded to form intricate shapes. When the application of FIBAROLL® was complete the vessel was exposed to UV to cure. The approximate curing time was 30 minutes in full UV. When fully cured, the red UV retarding film was removed.

FIBAROLL® - What is it?

A range of technically advanced, fully composed, manufactured and glass reinforced plastic laminates Produced uncured in rolls as a tacky solid, which is easily cut and molded to fit any shape Forms an impenetrable waterproof lining Has a unique multi-layered system Can be applied to almost any surface Excellent bonding properties - steel, concrete, etc. Chemically resistant to a wide range of acids, seawater, etc. Fire retardant to BS476 Class 1

Excellent for insulation protection. No need for SS cladding. Has immense strength and durability Withstands temperature changes, weathering and ultra violet degradation High resistance to abrasion Resistance to high temperatures Excellent for the prevention of corrosion Strengthens existing pitted or corroded surfaces Solves many industrial maintenance problems

FIBAROLL® Applications

PROTECTION OF UNDERGROUND PIPING

Replaces bitumen tapes, has greater resistance to mechanical damage

SEAMLESS WATERPROOF PROTECTIONS

For insulation cladding on piping. Can withstand foot traffic. No dents and damage as with stainless steel cladding. Prevents water ingression/corrosion to piping

REPAIRS

No hot work required. Pitting on piping, risers, vessels, structures, etc. Unscheduled shutdowns avoided.

PROTECTION

Lining of vessels, tanks or bunds for oil and chemicals. Protection for pipe support areas. Protection and repair of ventilation ducting on ships and offshore living quarters.

CONTAINMENT

Can withstand pressures up to 200 bar. Third party test carried out

CONCRETE

Adds structural and surface strengths. Non-porous. Has flexibility. Resists acids and alkalis to give complete protection. No de-lamination of coatings on the concrete due to hydrostatic pressure, as with conventional coatings

FIBAROLL® Attributes

Provides complete protection from corrosion Provides complete protection from corrosion Prevents Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) UV resistant - Utilizes UV for curing Seamless - No moisture/water penetration Easy installation - Applied cold Excellent adhesion - 7N/sq. mm. Excellent strength and abrasion resistance

Pre-insulation of piping achievable Saves on maintenance costs Adds great integrity to plants Prevents costly shutdowns by eliminating hot work repairs Huge savings on insulation and stainless steel cladding replacement Excellent chemical resistance Protects underground piping and ground penetrations

FIBAROLL®Construction The strength, integrity and longevity of the system depends upon its carefully designed construction. Prior to application FIBAROLL® is tacky and moldable. The 'C' glass veil gives the FRP laminate exceptional long term weathering performance and added chemical resistance. The glass mat provides flexural strength and toughness. Resin systems provide good chemical and temperature resistance.
