What Is UV Cured GRP?
What is UV cured GRP?
UV curing is a process in which ultraviolet light is used to initiate a photochemical reaction to create a crosslinked polymers network. It is used to cure instantly or “dry” inks, coatings, or adhesives. This curing technology has developed over recent years. It is becoming widely used in the Middle East as the preferred method for insulation protection, pipe wrapping, or renewal of pipe support pads. SolarTech UV curing Technology offers endless solutions for both applications over concrete or metal substrates.
Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) is among the composite materials taking advantage of the above technology. It is a fiber polymer made of a plastic matrix reinforced by fine fibers of glass, hence, lightweight, solid, and tough material. GRP is positioned as an easy-to-use ultra-violet-activated material used in many applications for repair and protection of wastewater tanks, sewage storage tanks, underground seawater storage tanks, tank roofs, over and underground transfer lines, gas pipelines, and many more.
Benefits of UV Cured GRP:
- Cures by UV light
- Ready to Use Material
- Numerous possible applications
- In uncured state, easy to cut to any desirable shape
- A completely seamless protection system
- High resistance to abrasion and impact
- Easy to apply, no skilled workforce is needed.
- Suitable for use on a wide range of substances
