These materials must be able to withstand the effects of hydrogen transfer without contaminating the energy source or harming the pipe in order to keep the energy system safe.
However, the company needed a new material for this applicator that could meet the necessary strength, flexibility, and adhesive properties required for it to be easily deployed in the field.
The reinforcement material increased breaking efficiency, resistance to long-term creep, elevated temperatures, and cyclical strain- based fatigue.
