StrongBack Composite SystemThe StrongBack System consists of StrongBack tape in conjunction with GS561 and/or GS154, proprietary load transfer/coating

agents. This combination of StrongBack products will effectively transfer the load from the corrosion pit to the composite StrongBacksleeve, eliminating moisture and oxygen migration under the sleeve when properly applied. Repair and coating of line is achieved in

one procedure. The StrongBack System can be applied under water by diver without the need for a habitat in most instances.

GS154 uses dual color components that turn grey, giving visual confirmation of correct mix when ready for use. GS561 is based on aunique blend of liquid epoxy polymer and aliphatic polyamine curing agents which is able to display water from wet surfaces in order

to make a permanent bond. The formulation is solvent-free to ensure safety and maximum technical performance. Kevlar* fibers are

incorporated for reinforcement and viscosity management to achieve high application rates even under water. GS561 uses advancedlow toxicity curing agents with two color components that turn green, giving visual confirmation of correct mix when ready for use.
