CC-GRP
Pipes
The
CC-GRP Pipe System is composed of a thermo set composite
material.
The production process a
special
combination of raw materials supplied by selected partners is
used. The main Raw Materials are Glass Fiber, Resin,
Reinforcing Materials and EPDM.
The product is manufactured by means of the Centrifugal
Casting Process, which allows for a smooth, uniform and
extremely abrasion-resistant special inner layer.

Process
The
process for produces CC- GRP Pipe Systems is the centrifugal
casting a product with unique features. Patented
by HOBAS the centrifugal
casting process produces compact pipes with programmable
characteristics. Therefore, the pipes can provide individual
solutions. The properties of which convince
worldwide.

Glass
Fiber
Every Pipe
has to meet structural, mechanical and chemical requirements
according to its type and to comply with national standards.
The major reinforcing material used for the Pipes to
achieve the recommended mechanical properties in the axial and
circumferential direction is glass fiber. There are some
layers in the wall structure of a Pipe in which the
fibers are the main component and responsible for the
excellent mechanical properties of every
Pipe.

Resin
Very
detailed specifications have been compiled for Unsaturated
Polyesters intended for use in pipe production by centrifugal
casting in order to ensure the process ability (gel,
exothermic and curing times, viscosity), the compound
performance (elastic modulus, tensile and bending
strength/strain, glass transition) and the service performance
of the pipe during its life cycle (chemical resistance,
molecular weight, acid number, heat deflection
temperature).

Reinforcing
Materials
Generally
it is possible to mix unsaturated polyester resins with
various reinforcing materials of natural or artificial origin.
These reinforcing materials are used to achieve certain
mechanical properties (stiffness) and also to reduce resin
consumption during production.
Typical
reinforcing types used in the Process are calcium carbonate
CaCOł powders, such as limestone, marble or dolomite.
Limestone is a semi-crystalline material with an age of
approximately 110 to 150 million years, whereas marble is
highly crystalline dating back some 300 to 500 million years.
Both materials are of completely biogenetic origin and are to
be found nearly all over the world. Typical sand types for
the process are, similar to filler carbonate or quartz
(Si0˛) aggregates with a grain size up to 1 mm.

Rubber
Filling
the gap between the pipe and joint requires a material which
can be deformed reversibly in order to ensure tightness of the
pipeline, even if there is relative movement between the pipe
and joint. The material sought must be water-resistant and
also resistant to a wide variety of chemicals which may be
transported together with the water. For that purpose an EPDM
(ethylene propylene dine polymer) is the perfect choice. Its
excellent ability to restore its shape after having been
stressed and relieved and its good chemical resistance are of
major importance when being used for sealing
profiles.
