Helios 157

High-Temperature Composite Repair Technology: Withstanding Extreme Heat without Sacrificing Structural Integrity

Helios 157: Optimised for Hot Climates and Extended Working Time in Demanding Conditions

Helios 157 is designed for high-performance composite repairs in elevated temperature environments. It features a two-component epoxy resin system with a glass transition temperature (Tg) of 157°C, making it ideal for pipelines, tanks, and structures exposed to sustained heat.

Unlike many high-temperature systems, Helios 158 cures at ambient temperatures of 25°C and above, eliminating the need for external heat sources in most climates. This makes it especially well-suited to hot regions or applications where extended working time is required.

Helios 157 is reinforced with our quad axial E-glass fibre fabric, consisting of four layers aligned at 0°/90°/+45°/−45°, ensuring optimal fibre orientation regardless of geometry. This alignment maximises strength in the hoop direction, delivering superior structural reinforcement, impact resistance, and long-term thermal stability.

Applications: Engineered composite wrap for harsh industrial environments

Helios 157 is purpose-built for the repair and reinforcement of industrial assets operating in high-temperature environments.

It is ideally suited for pipelines, pressure vessels, and structural components within oil refineries, petrochemical plants, power generation facilities, and processing sites where operating temperatures regularly exceed standard repair material limits.

With its high glass transition temperature (Tg 157°C) and ambient-cure formulation, Helios 157 enables durable repairs without the need for hot work or external heat sources—making it especially effective in hot climates or areas with limited access.

Whether addressing corrosion under insulation (CUI), restoring structural integrity, or extending the service life of thermally stressed components, Helios 157 provides a robust, long-term solution compliant with ISO 24817 and ASME PCC-2 standards.
