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.

Characterization

Built for UV rehabilitation workflows.

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

Important product note

Product information on this page is provided for general informational purposes only. Performance depends on application, site, operating conditions, and compatibility with the rest of the system. If a Polinvent product is used together with third-party equipment, liners, resins, curing units, or other components, that combination requires written Polinvent approval. Otherwise, the customer must verify suitability and bears the integration and project-performance risk. Review the applicable SDS, TDS, and product manual where relevant. Binding specifications arise only from the Confirmed Order and the written technical documentation supplied by Polinvent.
