Manufacturing
A composite material is a combination of two or more materials together in order to create a unique material with superior properties of individual components.
Subor GRP Pipes and Fittings are composite materials and have all the superior properties of the technology.
GRP composites are used in more and more applications due to the high strength and low weight in combination with the corrosion resistance.
THE WORLD’S ADVANCED GRP PIPE TECHNOLOGY:
CONTINUOUS FILAMENT WINDING PROCESS
Continuous Filament Winding Technology is the computer controlled method that involves the winding of the glass fibers around a continuous rotating structure called mandrel.
The glass fibers wound around the internal and external resistance layers to ensure the pipe’s pressure resistance and rigidity, and the chopped glass fibers used on all layers to ensure axial resistance are bound by the thermoset polymerization reaction of the polyester.
The filling material (silica sand) is used on the central layer to enhance the pipe rigidity in a cost effective way.
