Unparalleled Service Life

Regardless of punctures, impacts, or difficult  service conditions. Case histories now extend 30+ years without compound failure or aging.

• PIB Wrappingbands have no holidays occur at impact resistance tests of 354 in/lbf and indentation resistance testing of 10 N/mm2 (1450 psi)
• Punctures are filled by the polymer’s non-crosslinked cold flow properties, filling in a <6mm puncture in <24hr @ 23°C
• PIB Wrappingband covers the substrate fully; it has no lap seams at overlaps (adhesive strength > cohesive strength)
• PIb Wrappingband has no crosslinking with isoprene, therefore the material never cures and remains inert despite weatherization or exposure
• PIB Wrappingband has continuous self-healing properties because the lack of crosslinking results in true cold flow properties

• Longevity: No curing, cracking, or aging. Various facilities in Louisiana have 20+ year PIB applications.

• Puncture Resistance: Self-healing capability is a major advantage

• Reduced system costs and components with PIB materials: No primers required. This reduces complexity, craft application errors and crafting application time

• Surface Tolerance: Formulated for poorly prepared substrates or heavy condensation, PIB is vital to long-term sealing for in-service pipelines and CUI remediation.

Overall Value: PIB materials are a high-performance barrier that makes the entire anti-corrosion system successful and provides the lowest-cost long-term protection.
