Our Vortex Lining Systems division exclusively installs the Quadex Lining System®, the industry’s most advanced geopolymer mortar, and geopolymer lining system. We are able to restore pipes, culverts, and tunnels of all shapes and types.
What is a Geopolymer
A Geopolymer is a formulated mortar comprised of aluminosilicate powder with an alkaline activator to form a monolithic mineral polymer with ceramic properties. A geopolymer is not an epoxy or a plastic blended with aggregate.
We Recommend GeoKrete® Geopolymer
GeoKrete® Geopolymer cures through a process of polycondensation and possesses proven, high early and long-term compressive strength. Additionally, with superior bond strength, GeoKrete liners can be applied in layers and under multiple mobilizations.
The chemical composition of GeoKrete Geopolymer makes it inherently resistant to the microbial induced corrosion prevalent in many sewer environments. Geopolymers contain greatly reduced concentrations of calcium hydrates, commonly found in cementitious mortars, furthering the suitability of GeoKrete in low PH environments.
Features & Benefits
- Precision blended and mixed material allows for high measures of quality control
- Forms a monolithic, inorganic polymer structure for much higher resistance to acids and greater surface durability
- Cures through polycondensation and bonds to itself — the liner can be applied in layers and under multiple mobilizations
- Easily navigates pipe deformities, deep pipes, pipe bends, non-round pipes, slopes, and separated joints
Typical Applications
The Quadex Lining System is typically specified for large diameter pipes, culverts, tunnels, and other infrastructure suffering from corrosion, I/I, and other problems that could lead to catastrophic failure. The versatility of GeoKrete geopolymer makes it effective on corrugated metal, concrete, brick, and stone.
