APPLICATION BLUEPRINT
RapidFix HD Composite Repair System is an innovative
system from AGEP International that is compliant with
International standards such as ISO 248171 and NACE RapidFix HD Composite System
SP0304, both suitable for composite repair of metallic,
fiberglass and concrete structures in harsh and corrosive
conditions. RapidFix Composite System is designed
tailor-made based on the pre-assessment of the piping
system conducted according to API 570, making it
suitable for each and every case that it is applied to.

RapidFix HD Composite Repair System comprises of 3
