Methacrylate Resins

Methacure

Methacure has been developed for UV-cured pipe rehabilitation processes. The resin suits for relining and short-liner repair at the same time. The resin can be used as a matrix material for in-situ or for pre-impregnated composites.

Built for UV rehabilitation workflows.

Methacure has been developed for UV-cured pipe rehabilitation processes. The resin suits for relining and short-liner repair at the same time. The resin can be used as a matrix material for in-situ or for pre-impregnated composites.

Composition

Methacure resin is a methacrylate-based, one-component system that already contains the necessary UV initiator. The resin is completely Styrene-free. The viscosity of the resin can be modified with a thixotropic agent, the amount of which should be adjusted according to the specific application.

Components

  • Methacrylate-based blend with UV initiator One-component system, Styrene-free

Properties

  • good chemical resistance
  • good mechanical properties
  • good adhesion on vitrified-clay, concrete and steel
