Irathane Lined Pipe

Irathane Systems was one of the first companies to line pipe with urethane. More than 30 years ago the company developed first hand not only the lining product itself along with primers and adhesives, but the methods to apply the lining so that high quality is achieved. Early in the company’s history a team of chemists, engineers, technicians and consultants were brought aboard to design a urethane for lining pipe. From this group emerged a specialty-compounded urethane, along with applications techniques that has earned Irathane Systems the respect and admiration of its customers and competitors around the world. In short, “Irathane is basic in urethane”.
