REINFORCEKiT® 1D
REINFORCEKiT® 1D (R1D) is a water activated prepreg protective system wrapped around the pipe. This technology is a composite Abrasion Resistant Overcoat (ARO) made of fiberglass tape and polyurethane resin.
ABRASION RESISTANT OVERCOAT (ARO)
FOR PIPE PROTECTION
REINFORCEKiT® 1D is an advanced protective overcoat system designed for the robust protection of pipeline coatings during mechanical stresses and scarring associated with trenchless pipeline installation methods, such as Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD), thrust boring, and micro-tunneling. REINFORCEKiT® 1D effectively serves as an Abrasion Resistant Overcoat (ARO), providing a sacrificial outer layer that shields pre-approved anticorrosion field joint coatings and mainline coatings, such as FBE, 3LPE, 3LPP, shrink sleeves, and other protective tapes, from damage during installation.
REINFORCEKiT® 1D is recommended for use in environments where pipelines are subject to temperatures between -50°C (-58°F) and +150°C (+302°F), providing reliable protection during trenchless installation and preventing costly repairs post-installation.
It can be applied directly over existing pipe coating, requiring no calculations and ready for immediate use.
