Solutions by Application 

Cured-in-Place Pipe (CIPP)  Relining

The CIPP method entails the placement and hardening of a resin-soaked liner inside an existing damaged pipe. It is frequently employed in the rehabilitation of pipeline systems. This process essentially creates a new, jointless and corrosion-resistant pipe within the existing one. A crucial aspect of this method’s effectiveness is the epoxy system utilized, usually consisting of an epoxy resin mixed with an appropriate curing agent like ANCAMIDE ® or ANCAMINE ®.  

• ANCAMIDE® – Aliphatic amidoamine curing agents offer low viscosity and enhanced reactivity at elevated temperatures; suitable solution for on-site processing

• ANCAMINE® – Modified amine hardeners for epoxy systems enhance fabric wetting, minimize material waste and improve overall throughput; suitable solution for factory impregnation

• EPODIL® – Reactive diluents for viscosity control and formulation flexibility.

Evonik’s VISIOMER® Specialty Methacrylates monomers allow for the replacement of styrene in CIPP formulations to enable low-VOC formulations with long-term performance that cure using hot water, steam, or ultraviolet (UV) light.  

• VISIOMER® 1,4-BDDMA – Boosts mechanical strength and water resistance.

• VISIOMER® PEG200DMA – Adds flexibility and is label-free.

• VISIOMER® Terra IBOMA – Bio-based monoester with excellent thermal properties. 

• VISIOMER® BNMA – Enhances rigidity, reduces VOC content and help fine-tune resin performance.

Epoxy Based Fillament Winding 

The filament winding process, a cornerstone in the fabrication of high-performance epoxy composites, hinges on the meticulous selection and application of epoxy resins and curing agents. This technique, renowned for producing robust cylindrical or spherical structures, leverages the inherent strengths of continuous fibers, embedded in a meticulously formulated epoxy matrix. The synergy between the resin and curing agents like ANCAMINE ®  is pivotal in defining the composite’s final characteristics.

• VESTAMIN® – Diamine-based curing agents for superior toughness as well as thermal and chemical stability.

• ANCAMINE®– Cycloaliphatic amine curing agents enable low viscosity at high Tg what make them a perfect solution e.g. for manufacturing pipe fittings 
   

Lightweight Construction Materials 

• VESTAMID® NRG – High-strength, low-maintenance polyamide for flexible pipes, fittings and liners, in oil and gas distribution systems. Features long-term resistance to corrosion, chemicals and pressure. 

• VESTAKEEP® PEEK – Extremely tough, high-performance polymer especially suitable for fittings and seals. Offers exceptional performance when used in extreme environments. 

• VESTAPE® – Robust composite material of choice for fiber-reinforced layers and liners. Ideal for use in lightweight, long-lasting hybrid flexible pipes, such as thermoplastic composite pipes. 
   

Pipe Coatings and Protection 

• VESTOSINT® – Polyamide-based powders specially designed for fluidized-bed coating of pipe bushings and other components.
