Broken pipes are repaired from inside by using special
resins. This resin hardens and forms another
pipe within the damaged pipe. The liners made
of PU-PE-PP or PVC, supported by polyester felt or
glass reinforcement, are impregnated with epoxy
composite resins and extruded by pressure into the
existing pipe. The benefits are on hand: This method
is much more cost-effective and less disruptive compared
to the method of digging and replacing pipes.
The requirements for materials to operate within
higher temperature ranges or for softer materials
with improved chemical and UV resistance are
steadily increasing. Based on our deep chemical and
technological understanding, we developed a range
of epoxy composite resins which fully meet these
requirements in a range of diameter, length, and
quantity of material for the liner impregnation.
Our existing portfolio of Elan-tech® epoxy resins
includes 2 component unfilled addition cure systems,
2 component filled addition cure epoxy
as well as 2 component silicate system. We extended
our portfolio by a 1 component UV curing
resin, specially designed for our customers.
A tailored formulation, following precisely the
demands of the customer, is the major principle in
the development
of this product.
Our product range offers materials to cover a wide
spectrum of application areas such as sewage, potable
water, refinery and gas pipelines.

Unfilled Epoxy Resin
Unfilled epoxy resins are 2 component systems containing no mineral powder inside. Generally used for fiberglass impregnation,
when in need of a high wetting capability. All systems suitable for potable water approvals are matching
specific positive lists of ingredients according to current standards.
Filled Epoxy Resin
Filled epoxy resins are 2 component systems containing non abrasive mineral fillers. Fillers provide higher modulus
and lower shrinkage. Before using the filled epoxy resins with automating dispensing machine, please contact our
technical staff .
UV cure Epoxy Resins
Unfilled UV cure 1 component system, representing the ultimate solution and the future of pipe relining. UV lamp
is used to cure the resin containing photo-initiators, activating at light exposure. The pipe relining UV cure material
is an odorless, easy to use, low shrinkage resin. Curing is energy saving if compared to traditional steam processing.
