ArmorPIPE® Engineered Ceramic Segments are ceramics, bonded in rubber that are designed to combine the abrasion resistant properties of ceramic along with the energy absorbing properties of modern elastomers, for your pipe lining. Utilising proprietary surface treatments, the bond between the ceramic and the elastomer is greater than the tensile strength of the latter (circa 27580 kpa/4000 psi).

Unlike traditional ceramic tiles that become brittle as they wear, crack and then disbond, the ArmorPIPE® Engineered Ceramic Segments wear down entirely over time; resulting in a very cost effective and reliable solution for high tonnage large diameter pipe services. These flexible elastomers provide superior protection from impact and thermal cycling, increasing the duration of your system life and time intervals between each shutdown.

Benefits

• High levels of abrasion resistance without the brittleness typically associated with traditional ceramics
• Flexible elastomers provide protection from impact and thermal cycling
• Custom blended elastomers are available to provide resistance to a variety of chemicals including acids, alkalies and hydrocarbons.

ArmorPIPE® Technologies

ArmorPIPE^® Technologies is a leader in providing engineered abrasion resistant piping systems to the mining and mineral processing sectors, handling abrasive slurries and mine backfill.

ArmorPIPE^® was born as a result of industry demand for a dedicated service providing pipe lining technology to meet specific client and market requirements, in abrasive material handling. We have developed material and proprietary lining technology solely for the purpose of providing exceptional levels of resistance to abrasion, protection from corrosion and erosion in pipe bends and associated fittings.

Imatech’s engineered abrasion resistant pipe systems are an economical solution that provide durability, increased system reliability, production security and reduced maintenance requirements. ArmorPIPE^® abrasion resistant pipes and components are custom-designed and manufactured to deliver products with optimised wear characteristics for each individual application.
