About Bondstrand Glassfiber Reinforced Epoxy (GRE)
Durable and corrosion resistant Bondstrand® Glassfiber Reinforced Epoxy (GRE) piping is resistant to internal corrosion from a wide variety of chemicals, crude oil, residues, injection water and bacteria. Similarly it is resistant to exterior corrosion even in aggressive environments. Cathodic protection is not required.
Lightweight - Easy to install Bondstrand® Glassfiber Reinforced Epoxy (GRE) pipe systems, being just a quarter to an eighth the weight of comparable steel pipe, are easy to install without the need of heavy equipment.
Reduced cost The total installed cost of Bondstrand® Glassfiber Reinforced Epoxy (GRE) pipe systems represent a highly competitive alternative to steel and other metallic pipe systems. The corrosion resistance reduces the maintenance cost. for both above ground and buried pipelines. The smooth internal surface reduces the friction losses, which could lead to downsizing the piping system or reduced pumping cost.
