Our Innovative Design

THE ALPHALINER

OUR COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES

ALPHALINER® is a seamless, glass-reinforced and spirally wound liner that can be tailored to fit your exact specifications. It’s available in diameters ranging from 6 to 72″ (15.24 cm to 182.88 cm) and lengths in excess of 1,200 feet (366 meters). ALPHALINER® can accommodate a variety of pipe shapes, ranging from circular, ovoid, and arch to rectangular and special cross-sections.

RESULTS-ORIENTED RESINS

Reline America offers you an array of proprietary resin formulations that can be adjusted to meet your project’s site-specific technical requirements for physical and chemical-resistance performance. If you’re unsure of which resin formulation you need, no worries – our in-house technical team can help you select the optimal formulation for your project.

OVERVIEW

The innovative design and quality construction of Alphaliner® is based on our product engineers’ many years of experience, continuous in-house development and product tests. Effective in countless applications, Alphaliner sets itself apart from competing pipe liners with industry-leading feature standards:

Pre-impregnated glass fiber tapes are produced as a continuous, seamless tube of standard widths up to 1150 feet, extensible to 1970 feet.
Custom liner configurations are available to precise specifications for specialty applications.
UV lightproof, fabric-reinforced PVC outer protection; optional as integrated sliding protection or integrated pre-liner.
Composite liner structure formed from wrapped, pre-impregnated ECR glass fiber layers, provides static load-bearing thickness
Abrasion wear layer protects against highest chemical and mechanical loads
Polymer film (PA) with styrene barrier function
Inner foil (PE/PA) serves as installation aid with styrene barrier (generally removed once curing is complete)

ECONOMICAL AND SAFE: THE ALPHALINER WITH INTEGRATED SLIDING PROTECTION AND INTEGRATED PRE-LINER

RELINE doesn’t just make better products, we have evolved the process required to install them.

All Alphaliners are equipped with integrated sliding protection, or optionally with an integrated pre-liner. This increases safety and speed of construction during installation. Depending on its size and weight, the pipe liner material is exposed to considerable frictional forces during installation. Even small irregularities or sharp-edged obstacles, which may still be present despite careful preparation of the channel with milling robots, are capable of damaging the outer casing, impairing the functionality of the pipe liner.

Alphaliner’s integrated pre-liner also offers additional protection against the resin coming into contact with water, in the event of damage to the outer skin. In addition, Alphaliner is equipped with integrated sliding protection in the lower area, with an additional stable outer skin that is firmly welded to the tubular liner. In the variant with integrated pre-liner, the tubular liner is supplied complete with an additional outer cover.

DEFINED WEAR LAYER ENSURES LONG SERVICE LIFE

Alphaliner has a unique protective wear layer, which is defined in terms of its thickness, on the interior surface of the liner. This complies with the requirements of industry standards DWA-A 143-3 and DIN EN ISO 11296-4. This protective wear layer does not count as part of the composite wall thickness (the part of the composite liner wall that is structurally relevant).

This protective wear layer is at least twice as thick as the abrasion resistance established by the Darmstadt Tipping Trough Trial. It protects Alphaliner against mechanical wear and stress, such as occurs during high-pressure flushing. Alphaliner has a lot of very high safety reserves, ensuring a long service life; typically at least 50 years, and sometimes more.

A SUSTAINABLE SOLUTION FOR EVERY PIPELINE REHABILITATION PROJECT

Innovative design. Wide range of systems. Long-term sustainability Every pipe rejuvenation project requires its own installation approach. Every pipeline material and configuration is different. To allow for these variations in municipal and industrial applications, we offer many Alphaliner formats for your specific needs.

ROI ADVANTAGES

Nothing crushes profit margins like inefficient or failed liner installations. That’s where ALPHALINER® steps in, with a complete system that’s field-confirmed for ease of installation, backed by trained, certified installers. With its superior durability, risk management just got a whole lot easier.

Advantages of Alphaliner VS Felt CIPP

ALPHALINER 500G

Alphaliner 500G is ideal for quick, efficient installation in small and medium-sized sewers in the nominal width range DN 150 to DN 1300. This Alphaliner has extremely high transparency to UV light, with very good mechanical characteristics. In combination with the REE4000 UV curing system, this design enables high curing speeds of up to 8 ft/min, making it a particularly economical, safe and long-lasting repair. Alphaliner500G is made of a particularly stable, resin-saturated, glass nonwoven textile, with a thickness of at least 0.3 mm.

ALPHALINER 1800H

Alphaliner 1800H was designed for the highest static load capacity, providing economical repairs to large-dimension pipelines. Alphaliner1800H consists of a resin-saturated, high-quality polyester fleece, with a minimum thickness of 0.5 mm for extreme durability. During production, the ECR glass fiber quality “Ultrapipe,” specially adjusted to UV light curing, is used. This increases the transparency of the material, which optimizes curing. Used with our highest quality resins, this new generation of materials exhibits unique technical properties. During the renovation, a liner pipe is created that is extremely resilient, withstanding extreme static and dynamic loads.

ALPHALINER PN

For demanding pressure pipeline rehabilitation for municipal and industrial wastewater and process water, we offer a particularly fast, safe, economical and environmentally friendly solution with our UV GRP pipe liner, AlphalinerPN. Designed specifically for sewage, process water or industrial wastewater pressure lines.

ALPHALINER AQUA.UV®CIPP

For the highly sensitive needs of potable water pipe rehabilitation, RELINE AMERICA offers an absolutely safe, sustainable and flexible solution, with the UV light-curing GRP pipe liner AQUA.UV® CIPP. Developed and produced in-house, this formulation complies with required safety and hygiene standards. This includes NSF International approval of AQUA.UV® CIPP for the drinking water and food sector (NSF/ANSI/CAN Standard 61 - Drinking Water System Components – Health Effects Official Listing).

ALPHALINER HP

Our UV light-curing pipe liner, Alphaliner HP, was developed for pipeline renovations with varying levels of leak test requirements in - Zone II and III groundwater protection areas - High-traffic zones - Development areas/ subsidence areas/ bog soil. Particularly high demands are placed on sewer rehabilitation systems employed in these sensitive areas. No groundwater contamination is permitted during the repair work, with higher and longer containment conditions. AlphalinerHP meets these stringent performance requirements.

ALPHALINER ECO

UV light-curing GRP pipe liner with high-quality, vinyl-based, styrene-free resin. For municipal and industrial applications, Alphaliner ECO is ideal wherever there are particularly stringent limits on VOC emissions and flammability in rehabilitation projects. It provides excellent chemical resistance to all wastewater, and meets high mechanical parameters for long-term resilience. It also features our unique wear layer on the liner’s inner surface. The following diameters are available: Alphaliner1800H-ECO – DN 150 to DN 1800.

ALPHALINER ESD

The first electrostatically dissipative, UV light-curing hose liner worldwide. AlphalinerESD falls into the electrostatically dissipative protection category, according to TRGS727 (avoidance of ignition hazards due to electrostatic charges), and DIN EN 64340-5 (protection of electronic components). For industrial applications, a resin-nanoparticle combination developed with leading universities lends special properties to this Alphaliner. AlphalinerESD is particularly suitable for the functional rehabilitation of drainage pipes in the chemical and petrochemical industries, as well as in energy/utility, environmental and electrical engineering applications.
