Ordering Information
HydraWrap® E is a glass FRP repair system engineered to restore or enhance the structural integrity of pipe and infrastructure.
- Each HydraWrap E system is a uniquely designed glassFiber Reinforced Polymer Composite that consists of a 100% solids high build epoxy Primer, a 100% solids epoxy Wet-Out resin, and Fiberglass fabric.
- The Primer provides excellent adhesion to a variety of substrates while allowing a sag free application at high film builds.
- The Wet-Out resin is designed to thoroughly wet out the fiber forming a composite matrix with a high tensile and flexural properties.
ADVANTAGES
- Rapid development of physical properties with ambient cure. No post cure required.
- Chemical and Corrosion Resistant Structural Repair
- Good Tensile / Flexural Modulus and Strength
- 100% Solvent-Free, Zero V.O.C.
- Low temperature cure down to 40ºF (4ºC).
- Installed by fully trained application specialists
- Full contract support services available
The HydraTech HydraWrap E system is a performance driven product that provides a chemical and corrosion resistant structural repair for infrastructure and the interior or exterior of pipe. The HydraWrap E system is backed by our engineering staff that services each application with assessment and technical support. HydraWrap E provides a cost effective solution for structural repairs.
SUBSTRATE PREPARATION
Substrate preparation dictates the adhesion performance of any coatings system. A properly prepped surface will ensure maximum life and performance of the system.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
- Prep substrate according to NACE / SSPC spec.
- Measure fabric around pipe to ensure proper length.
- Mechanically mix together both primer components until uniform.
- Apply primer to prepared substrate via brush or spreader.
- Mix both Wet-Out components for two minutes.
- Apply Wet-Out to fabric via spreader or impregnator ensuring complete wet out of fabric.
- Apply saturated fabric to wet primer ensuring a consistent, smooth wrap free of voids.
- Allow system to completely cure.
- If exposed to sunlight, top coat the wrap with a light stable top coat.
For details regarding application refer to the HydraWrap Installation Procedure.
