Our epoxy boasts a shear strength of 2500 psi! It was developed for aerospace applications and is specifically formulated to bond lightweight composites to metallic materials. Our epoxy will effectively hold your pipe supports in place and it’s capable of withstanding large loads in multiple directions without losing adhesion integrity….
On average, a wear pad should take no more that five minutes to install using entry-level personnel. Our wear pad installation instructions are nine steps and one page long. Our two-part epoxy system is housed in a two-part cartridge that is placed in a two-part epoxy applicator and dispensed through a static mixing…
Yes, this is one of the key features of our composite pipe support system. Our epoxy system is compatible with any cured coating surface, though a word of caution: our epoxy will sometimes bond to the paint better than the paint does to the pipe. If shortcuts were taken during…
Yes, another key benefit of our composite pipe supports is that they can be installed in areas with very limited space with basic hand tools. Since our composite pipe supports do not require welding or the use of spark generating equipment they are safe and can save thousands in permitting,…
Yes, our CryoTek Pipe Shoes have polyurethane foam blocks encapsulated into the shoe base. Since the polyurethane foam does not have to bear load, we can use very low density foam which has better insulating properties than high density foams. Related Product(s): CryoTek Pipe Shoes
Our CryoTek Pipe Shoes are installed using a combination of 6 heavy duty stainless steel bands and our APP EX-100 epoxy. No welding is required. We use this dual component system for added safety.

Yes, our CryoTek shoes can be installed in the field. They weigh a fraction of what conventional metallic supports weigh and can be installed without the use of heavy machinery. To give you an idea of what our shoes weigh, a 32” pipe shoe weighs approximately 80 pounds and can…
Yes, our CryoTek shoes can be stored outdoors for an indefinite period of time. Unlike traditional cryogenic supports that have use exposed polyurethane foam that can become damaged, waterlogged, and deteriorates with UV exposure; our CryoTek shoes have no exposed foam and are water and UV resistant. This is a…
Yes, our CryoTek shoes are impact resistant. One of our clients asked us if it would be ok to hit our shoe with a sledge hammer. Related Product(s): CryoTek Pipe Shoes Related Media: CryoTek Pipe Shoe being hit with a 10-pound sledgehammer (YouTube, 0:46)
We supply multiple liners to suite your needs, such as: fluoropolymers for corrosion and wear resistance that provide a low coefficient a friction to reduce stress in piping systems. We can also offer vibration dampening liners for compressor applications and heavy duty elastomers for offshore use. Related Product(s): VibraTek Hold…
