NRI POLYMERS: CHEMICAL COMPATIBILITY

NRI’s pre-impregnated and field-saturated composites are manufactured to restore, protect and reinforce pipes, pipeline components, and civil structures. Proper glass and/or carbon fiber
product and binding resin selection are critical to provide the longest life, lowest lifecycle cost, best corrosion performance, and to minimize the risk failure in presence of chemical compounds in
aggressive environments. NRI presents this compatibility chart to demonstrate that our systems are highly resistant to the most common aggressive corrosive chemicals.
