PowerSleeve® Information

Powersleeve® High Performance Epoxy PCC-II Compliant FRP Repair System

PowerSleeve®, our engineered composite kit, consists of a fabric that is a hybrid alloy, non-crimped system, employing a high grade E-glass and Kevlar® yarns, or C-2 carbon fabric arranged in a multi-axis layout that maximizes the ultimate composite strengths. This fabric is factory pre-treated using a state-of-the-art process which assures that all the micro-fibers in the wall will be matrix-wetted. Tests of these pre-treatments show a finished PowerSleeve® installation is much stronger than an untreated lay-up. Powersleeve is available in various carbon and glass fabric to fit numerous applications.

PowerSleeve kits are configured with the fabric and resin that works for you. The PowerMatrix™ grade is selected for your application type. We used custom formulations that give our product exceptional properties of flexibility, adhesion, toughness, chemical resistance, thermal resistance, vibration, etc. Special grades are available to handle special situations.

PowerSleeve® Kits ship to the field with all components pre-measured and factory sealed. Everything is included: PowerSleeve® Fabric, PowerMatrix™, primer, stirring sticks, Stricture Banding™, paint, safety glasses, wipes, etc. The technician simply lays out a pre-measured fiber reinforcement segment, mixes the pre-measured resin components (with the furnished mixing stick) and applies the resin to the reinforcement. No measuring is required in the field, and performance tolerances are tightened with controlled fabric/matrix ratios.

    Matrix Systems

    Standard Matrix

    A two-component, ambient temperature matrix used in our PowerSleeve® composite reinforcement products. This ambient temperature cure matrix wets out easily and can be applied to our PowerSleeve® W-11 and G-03 Fabrics. It is relatively fast setting, approximately 30 minutes @77° F and is used where a maximum service temperature of 180° F is desired. No VOC’s, 100% solids. This product ships DOT non-hazardous.

    • 439 Matrix

    A two-component, medium temperature matrix used in our PowerSleeve® composite reinforcement products. This ambient temperature cure matrix wets out easily and can be applied to our PowerSleeve® W-11 and G-03 Fabrics. It is relatively fast setting, approximately 60 minutes @77° F and is used where a maximum service temperature of 300° F is desired. Intermittent excursions to 325° F can also be tolerated. The color will change from a mild yellow to dark amber when temperatures rise above 140° F. This product ships DOT hazardous (corrosive).

    • X-TEMP-2

    A two-component, heat and chemical resistant matrix used in our PowerSleeve® composite reinforcement products. This elevated temperature cure matrix wets out easily and can be applied to our PowerSleeve® W-11, G- 03, C-2 carbon and our highly conformable BearTM Fabrics. To achieve its ultimate chemical resistance properties requires post cure per the instruction sheet. It is relatively fast setting, approximately 80 minutes at the minimum application temperature of 150° F. Designed for use where a maximum service temperature of 450° F is desired. This product must be post-cured in order to achieve the best chemical resistance properties. The color will be dark amber when temperatures rise above 200° F. This product ships DOT hazardous (corrosive). Technical Data Sheet.
