Reference # : Model No :

ThermoWrap® Inspectable is a custom-engineered composite repair system that uses a high modulus fiberglass architecture in conjunction with a patented epoxy system designed for use with common inspection equipment. Its thick, non-crimped, glass fiber architecture and nano-tube-enriched resin combine to yield high strength characteristics, requiring fewer layers than comparable products. ThermoWrap® Inspectable is designed to work in high temperatures and is suitable for repairing damaged process piping. This solution is engineered for “inspectability” using common radiographic inspection methods. With ThermoWrap® Inspectable, it is possible to monitor the integrity of an in-service repair through the course of its intended design life.

Benefits
