Armor Plate® Pipe Wrap was developed to provide industry with an economical structural repair system that is easy to
use and apply for structural repair on corroded or damaged pipe. The material will also repair concrete, steel, asbestos, vinyl, and
fiberglass pipe. Armor Plate® Pipe Wrap venture was originated from Wil-Cor, Inc. which has the registered trade
name of Armor Plate®. Wil-Cor, Inc. started business in 1978 and formulates epoxy polyester resins for floor
coatings, tank linings, grouts, and adhesives for industry. Wil-Cor, Inc. also has field crews that have been repairing fiberglass
pipe and structures, fabricate fiberglass pipe and apply chemical resistant linings to concrete pits and tanks since 1978.
Recognizing the potential for developing a repair method using composite materials, Armor Plate, Inc. was ready to commence an
extensive test program. Stress Engineering Services, Inc. of Houston, Texas was selected because of their extensive experience in pipeline
repair and testing. Charter Coatings Services Ltd., Calgary, Alberta, Canada, was also selected because of their experience in corrosion evaluztion
involving cathodic disbondment, impact, corrosion and cold weather testing.
The intent of the test program was to evaluate the structural integrity of the system in terms of composite materials and interaction
with various piping geometries. An imperative in the evaluation was that testing must simulate field conditions and possess representative
loads that are common to pipeline systems.
Armor Plate, Inc. is commited to providing sound technical information to industry through several different resouces.
