Hyperion 223

Extreme Temperature Duty

"BioWrap 102 gave us a sustainable repair option without compromising on the performance we need for high-pressure pipeline systems. The ambient cure was a game-changer for our remote site operations."

— Operations Manager, Offshore Energy Client

Maximum Performance in Critical High-Temperature Environments

Extreme thermal resistance. When standard composites fail under extreme heat, Hyperion 223 takes over. With an industry-leading Tg of 223°C, this system is built specifically for steam lines and high-temperature process piping. It withstands aggressive thermal cycling, delivering permanent structural integrity in environments that demand the highest thermal resistance available.

  • Flexural modulus: 3.38 GPa
  • Mix ratio: 100:36 by weight
  • 8-hour gelation @ 23°C

Proven Extreme-Pressure Performance

Independently tested at a UKAS-accredited laboratory: up to 327 bar on non-leaking defects and 206 bar on leaking defects—delivering confidence in the most critical applications.

  • Non-leaking: up to 327 bar
  • Leaking: up to 206 bar
  • Lap shear: 6.5 MPa (carbon steel)
  • Circumferential tensile: 270.9 MPa

Flexible Post-Cure Options

Three post-cure cycles let you tailor the final Tg to your application: from 77°C (minimum cure) to 167°C (intermediate) to the full 223°C for the most extreme thermal environments.

  • Minimum: 24h@23°C + 8h@50°C → Tg 77°C
  • Intermediate: 8h@50°C + 2h@150°C → Tg 167°C
  • Maximum: stepped to 200°C → Tg 223°C
  • Application temp: 18-25°C recommended
