Strengthening of structures
Aramid fabrics
The deterioration of concrete structures is demanding increasing attention around the world. Several repair techniques have been developed, and solutions often make use of Aramid blends . One widely adopted technique is column wrapping, whereby an aramid fabric is wrapped around concrete columns that need reinforcement. This is followed by resin impregnation and curing. Column wrapping is used for repairing old and deteriorating structures, and on structures that require additional reinforcement (e.g., to meet earthquake regulations).

Concrete reinforcement
FRP rods
To reinforce concrete structures, FRP rods based on Aramid fibers can be used as alternatives to conventional steel pre-stressing bars. In addition to excellent tensile mechanical properties, they offer superior corrosion resistance compared to steel. And thanks to the dielectric nature of aramid fibers, these rods offer additional advantages in cases where electrical conductivity is not allowed (e.g., to avoid electromagnetic interference).

Short-cut fibers
Aramid fibers are used to replace steel fibers in ultra-high-performance concrete particularly in special situations where corrosion resistance and injury prevention are key requirements.

Masonry reinforcement
Grid
In masonry reinforcement, Aramid fiber blend grid is used as an alternative to steel mesh. In addition to its mechanical properties, a Aramid mesh offers advantages over steel due to its easy installation, resistance to corrosion, and superior lifetime.

Engineering plastics
Engineering plastics must meet increasingly stringent requirements. The trend is toward more compact designs and smaller components that are subject to greater stresses, such as higher temperatures and operating speeds. And at every step of the way, these requirements need to be met without compromising on durability -

Flexible flowlines and umbilicals

In todays dynamic world, fossil fuels are becoming increasingly challenging to extract. Nowhere is

this more evident than in the offshore Oil & Gas industry. The result is a trend towards replacing steel with lightweight high-performance materials. This is especially true for applications for deeper and more remote waters, and where new technologies are being developed to enable existing fields to be exploited more efficiently. In addition, the performance requirements of materials for underwater use are becoming increasingly stringent, as working pressures and temperatures become ever higher, and as more aggressive crudes are extracted.

Reinforced pipes
Vast networks of pipes have been installed around the world for the transportation of liquids, gases and solids. Each year, new pipelines are installed many by the oil and gas industry to replace existing pipes, to create new transportation connections, or for use in new applications. The standard material used in these pipes is steel, but its vulnerability to corrosion can cause major problems.

Market developments On-shore oil fields are characterized by a dense distribution of oil wells. These oil wells are connected to trunk lines by so-called flowlines. The trunk lines transport the oil to ship-loading facilities or oil-processing plants. Over the lifetime of an oil well, pressure in the well needs to be increased in order to maintain acceptable output. When steel is used for this type of application, it can suffer significantly from corrosion. Chemicals in the oil can corrode the inside of the pipe, while weather conditions and a salty environment can cause outside corrosion. Even in wellequipped, well-managed, well-maintained pipeline systems in oil fields, leakage due to corrosion is an inevitable hazard. However, pipes which contain Aramid as a reinforcement material can be 100% non-metalic, therefore non-corrosive, light-weight and flexible. After years of thorough testing, the pipe-using industries can now take advantage of a product that immediately resolves some of the major problems in traditional flowlines, leading to better output and less waste. A unique solution Twarons high modulus, high strength (even at elevated temperatures), high tenacity versus low weight, and excellent corrosion resistance give it a significant advantage over other reinforcement materials, such as glass and carbon fiber. Twaron reinforced pipes are: Light-weight Highly flexible Corrosion-resistant Have high-pressure ratings Extremely reliable Can be certified according to ISO 9080 and API RP 15S and others

This combination of features make it extremely attractive in the oil and gas industry if not a truly unique and sustainable solution. And for those cases where resistance to even the highest temperatures is required, we can offer an even stronger reinforcement alternative with Aramid Applications Twaron reinforced pipes can be designed to withstand a range of high operating pressures and temperatures (e.g., 90 bar, 1300 Psi, at 65C or 150F). They can also be produced and transported in continuous lengths of up to several hundred meters without couplings. Teijin Aramid has strongly supported its partners with the development of a Twaron-reinforced thermoplastic pipe (RTP) to overcome many of the issues that affect existing steel-based pipe systems. It is lightweight and flexible. RTP is also fast and easy to install, low-maintenance, and has an operating lifetime of up to 50 years. Because of these properties, RTP is expected to play an important role in the transportation of oil, water and gas particularly in the extreme climatic conditions found in deserts, the arctic or the tropics.
