ViperSkin™
ViperSkin™ is the first bi-axial, hybrid carbon and glass fiber, pre-saturated system to blend the unsurpassed strength and stillness of carbon with the ease and use of a moisture-cured, factory-saturated polyurethane. The pre-saturated system ensures appropriate fiber-to-resin content ratios to deliver reliable performance in restoring pipeline integrity on lines with complex geometry.
