COMBIWRAP Composite Repair Pipeline System for Permanent Pipeline Strengthening

Industrial pipelines, tanks, vessels, and steel structures are constantly exposed to corrosion, erosion, mechanical damage, and chemical attack. Replacing damaged assets often results in costly shutdowns, production losses, and extensive maintenance expenses.

DEMECH CHEMICAL COMBIWRAP Composite Repair Pipeline System provides a reliable, cost-effective, and long-lasting alternative to replacement. Designed in compliance with ISO 24817 and ASME PCC-2 standards, COMBIWRAP restores the structural integrity of weakened, perforated, and corroded metallic assets while minimizing downtime. The advanced composite repair technology combines glass fiber reinforcement with hybrid epoxy-polyurethane systems, delivering exceptional strength, corrosion resistance, chemical resistance, and adhesion.

What is COMBIWRAP Composite Repair System?

COMBIWRAP is a high-performance composite wrap repair system engineered to repair and strengthen:

  • Pipelines
  • Pressure vessels
  • Storage tanks
  • Steel structures
  • Process equipment
  • Marine and offshore assets
The system restores damaged sections without welding, hot work, or equipment replacement. It can be applied quickly and is suitable for operating pressures up to 30 bar. compositerepair

How COMBIWRAP Works

The repair system utilizes multiple layers of specially engineered glass fiber reinforcement saturated with high-strength epoxy-polyurethane resin systems.

Once applied over the damaged area, the composite wrap forms a durable structural shell that:

  • Restores mechanical strength
  • Reinforces weakened pipe sections
  • Arrests corrosion damage
  • Prevents further deterioration
  • Extends equipment service life

The ultra-high adhesion properties ensure excellent bonding with carbon steel, stainless steel, and other metallic substrates.
