Expanding pipe diameters and operating pressures while maintaining flexibility is no easy task – and it’s not something traditional materials like glass and Aramid reinforcement are built for. Reaching higher pressures and diameters for these reinforcements would require many additional layers, which not only drives up cost, but also limits the flexibility of the pipe. What if there was a way to avoid rigidness, and still increase the possibilities for handling greater diameters and pressures?
Our steel cord reinforced tape, Armofor®, contains multiple high-strength steel cords positioned with expert precision side-by-side in a thermoplastic matrix. This forms a high strength composite strip that’s incredibly lightweight and flexible, making it ideal for any application. With only a few layers, Aromofor® provides the strength needed to support high pressure, high diameter applications, yet still maintains incredible flexibility. Plus, the zinc coating guarantees a long and robust corrosion resistance, even in the most intense environments.
