JAMIANTIT OA LAR A Technical Note on UV inhibition of GRP piping — Details One of the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's) is that GRP piping being supplied can withstand UV effects from the environment. If the manufacturer is providing suitable protections, what are they and how they were employed or introduced. Customer /Contraetor and Client wants to understand how this is carried out. In this, regard, please find below the responses. Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) is an amalgamation of resin, glass fibers, additives and fillers as needed which results in long term performing laminates. This FRP is being called also as FRP / GRP/RTRP and RPMP. FRP_ is being produced by various process. Amiantit FIBERGLASS Industries Limited (AFIL) produces pipes by continuous filament winding processes in which the pipe laminate is produced continuous filament winding machines, FRP Pipe wall consists of mainly three layers viz Structure of the Pipe exterior of the pipe, structure of the pipe and interior of the Interior of the pipe Wall pipe. It is required that all the above ground piping system need to be UV protected. This can be achieved by various methods. AFIL considers this requirements and ensures to protect all above ground or exposed piping system to be UV inhibited. This is being done irrespective of the customer requirements. www.amiantit.com; www.afilpipe.com; www.flowtite.com Page 1 of 2JAMIANTIT AAR This UV inhibition is carried out by mixing the TiO2 in the resin from the beginning of the pipe production and will continue till the pipe wall is completely produced. The chemical nature of UV inhibitor (TiO2) is so that addition of the UV inhibitor does not change the color of the resin and hence cannot be differentiated in color. In this regard we do confirm that this UV inhibitor is being provided for all the Above ground / exposed piping system and this can be verified and confirmed ing, Apart from this verification, no means are available to re confirm and verify the addition. Above clarifications will enable customer / contractors / consultants to understand the procedure involved in UY inhibition of GRP piping. www.amiantit.com; www.afilpipe.com; www.flowtite.com Page 2 of 2
