Materials and Structure

iPlus Compostie™ is reinforced with carbon fibre and/or corrosion resistant fibreglass materials. Only fibres that are resistant to the corrosive materials in sewers are used. Carbon and Advantex™ fibreglass materials have excellent chemical resistance to materials found in sewers and exceed all of the trenchless ASTM industry corrosion requirements.

The iPlus Composite™ laminate design theory optimally locates the structural reinforcing materials, reducing the pipe wall thickness by about half. As with other CIPP products, the applied pipe loads are calculated according to trenchless technology’s industry accepted standards, such as ASTM F1216.

iPlus Composite™ has a polypropylene coating on the inside pipe surface. This elastomeric flow surface coating increases the pipe’s smoothness, reduces the surface friction and provides an additional corrosion barrier for the pipe.

Manufacturing

The iPlus Composite™ tube is assembled in Insituform’s ISO-certified manufacturing facilities using the same manufacturing processes and equipment used to construct traditional Insituform® CIPP products. This ensures the tubes are made with the same attention to detail and high standards of quality our customers have come to expect.
