Filament winding process for FRP pipes

Filament Winding Resin

Engineered for Pipes, Tanks, and Vessels

Low viscosity formulations ensuring rapid wetting and high productivity for continuous winding processes.

Maximize Winding Efficiency

Filament winding is highly automated and requires resins with precise rheology. If the viscosity is too high, wet-out is poor; if too low, resin drips and creates waste.

Changyuan New Materials offers specialized filament winding resins that strike the perfect balance. Our formulations allow for high winding speeds while ensuring complete saturation of the glass fibers, resulting in void-free laminates with superior hoop stress strength.

From small diameter pressure pipes to massive chemical storage tanks, our resins provide the chemical resistance and mechanical durability your projects demand.

Filament Winding FAQ

Q: What viscosity is best for filament winding?

For standard filament winding, a resin viscosity between 300-500 cps is typically ideal to ensure thorough impregnation of the fiber rovings without dripping. We can adjust viscosity to match your specific winding speed and equipment.

Q: Can I use standard resin for drinking water pipes?

No, for potable water applications, you must use a resin that is certified (e.g., WRAS or NSF equivalent) and formulated with food-grade raw materials to prevent leaching. We offer specific drinking water grade resins.

Q: How do you control the curing time for large tanks?

Curing time is critical for large structures. We provide a range of promoter/inhibitor packages that allow you to adjust the gel time from 20 minutes to several hours, ensuring the tank structure is stable before the resin sets.

Q: Is your resin suitable for dual-helical winding?

Yes, our resins are formulated with excellent mechanical properties (elongation and tensile strength) to support the complex stress loads found in dual-helical and hoop winding patterns.
