Award-Winning Innovation
In the trenchless pipe repair market, cure-in-place pipe (CIPP) systems are a popular choice. Huntsman’s VITROX® Composite Resins product is the world’s first polyurethane-based pipe repair resin. VITROX® resin provides a longer handling window, faster curing time and superior high temperature resistance properties compared to existing technologies.
The significant scientific challenge to develop a polyurethane resin suitable for the CIPP process was tackled by the Huntsman technology team using fundamental chemistry know-how, and demonstrated in-field in partnership with I.S.T. (Innovative Sewer Technologies GmbH).
