Product description

Armofor
© Bekaert

Bekaert Armofor® is the reinforcement of choice when you design thermoplastic pipes that must offer the combination of high pressure resistance with one of these value elements: Light weight (compared to steel pipe alternatives), Flexibility (for spoolable pipes), Temperature resistance (to handle the pressure in ultra low, normal or high temperature operating conditions), Corrosion resistance (long-term sustained performance).

7 years of development led to a reinforcement tape that can boost pressure resistance from 5 – 500 bars, with simple processing in production.
