basic information

"HPC Pipe" is the general term for our original FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic) pipes. Our FRP pipe "HPC Pipe" uses prepreg sheets, which are materials that have resin pre-impregnated and are in a semi-cured state, made from carbon fiber (CFRP) or glass fiber (GFRP). These sheets are wrapped around a mold to form the pipe. This manufacturing method is called "Sheet Winding (SW) Method," and it allows for flexible laminate configurations, from ultra-thin pipes to thicker ones, which is difficult with other methods, making it suitable for small lot production as well. Furthermore, composite pipes can also be formed with metals, resins, and natural wood, among others.
