XCorr® Composite Repair Kits - Mechanical Reinforcement
XCorr® Composites employ a filled, novolac epoxy resin paired with a non-crimp, high-strength quadraxial fiberglass weave to provide superior mechanical reinforcement and chemical resistance with operating temperatures up to 350°F (177°C) (XCorr® 100)/up to 450°F (232°C) (XCorr® 200). See below for more information on physical properties for the resin and composite materials.
When pipe strength has been compromised due to corrosion or mechanical damage, XCorr® Composite Repair Kits provide a path to return to service without costly pipe replacement.
XCorr® 100
This field-mixed novolac epoxy resin and advanced-weave fiberglass combine to provide high-strength reinforcing composite layers, demonstrated to build back wall thickness and corresponding strength.
XCorr® 200
This high performance epoxy resin and advanced-weave fiberglass reinforcement create a PCC-2 compliant composite, which is easy to install, yet provides superior mechanical strength and high chemical resistance.

Packaging: Resin supplied in dual cartridge (parts A and B packaged separately) with pre-measured volumes sized specifically for full coverage of supplied reinforcement fabric. Kits provided with static mixers, spreaders and gloves. Two-part dispensing guns sold separately.
Sizes: Reinforcement tape supplied in 12.5” widths and premeasured lengths. The required resin volumes are supplied in ready to use 400 mL or 1.0 L dual cartridge assemblies.
Shelf Life: Part A: 12 months at 75°F (24°C). Part B: 12 months at 75°F (24°C)
Storage Temperature: 32 to 100°F (0 to 43°C), 0-100% relative humidity
Application Temperature: 50 to 150°F (10 to 65°C)
Surface Preparation: Surfaces must be cleaned of all oil and debris and dried. For metal surface, a bright metal finish is desired (SSPC-SP10 (immersion) or SSPC-SP6 (nonimmersion)). If possible, the pipe should be at ambient temperature before application.

"Quick and economical fix for leaks that don't lend themselves to clamps. Provides time until a system shutdown allows replacements..."
Jesse Moran, Project Manager
"The stickiness is good for the pipes – it’s not going to let any moisture through. It works really well with stainless steel."
InduMar Client
"Thanks to InduMar's STOP IT® Flat Patch, we were able to repair multiple tanks that had been out of commission, and now they are back in service."
