COMPA is a method for repair and reinforcement of damaged structures and pipes using composite materials.

COMPA is a method for repair and reinforcement of damaged structures and pipes using composite materials.

COMPA Repairs is a result of extensive experience in ship design and engineering.

The method features application of carbon and glass fibres mixed with epoxy resin/adhesive onto a damaged surface. By curing, the resin hardens and bonds to the surface permanently, impregnating also the fibres that reinstate the strength of the damaged part. It creates a solid new layer of material that provides full watertightness.

WHY COMPA?

  • Bonds strongly to metals, wood and plastic.
  • Provides watertightness
  • Restores strength
  • Prevents corrosion
  • Reduces crack growth
