Reinforced GAP pipes and fittings made from two-component thermosets

GAP stands for Glass fibre reinforced plastic and is a composite material consisting of two-component thermosetting plastics that are then reinforced with either carbon or glass fibre. Fibreglass pipes are the right choice for those looking for pipes with a long service life regardless of climate.

GAP pipes and fittings are an advantage to use in the following areas:

• The steel industry.
• The paper industry.
• The mining industry.
• Chemical industry.

Fibreglass pipes are also highly recommended when you need a material that will withstand harsh, external conditions. GAP pipes and fittings are effective in a variety of conditions because:

• They are very durable under pressure up to 25 bar.
• The pipes have very good corrosion properties.
• The pipes and their parts can withstand salt water without rusting.
• Fibreglass pipes and fittings are resistant to most chemicals and oils
• They can be used in environments where temperatures range from -40 to 115 degrees.

What characterises Lyma Kemiteknik's GAP products?

Our GAP products have a 2.5 mm or 4.0 mm corona barrier as standard. The safety factor against breakage is 6, the expansion is low and the electrical insulator used is excellent! You will find the pressure classes PN 0-16 with us and the material grades VE and VEN as standard, but on request we can also supply VEH, IP or OP. Our standard pipe length is 6 metres, but as with the material grades, this can be adapted as required.
