Designed to Repair Pipes in Marine Environments

The subsea specialist. Engineered for the harshest wet environments, Oceanus 142 is a water-activated composite that cures underwater. Pre-impregnated and ready to use straight from the pack, it requires no mixing and provides rapid, permanent reinforcement for subsea, splash zone, and topside defects where moisture is unavoidable.

  • Easy Application: Pre-impregnated and ready to apply right out of the packaging.

  • High Strength Repair: Tensile strength of 290 MPa for structural integrity.

  • Onshore Capabilities: Can be used topside by spraying with water to cure.

  • Subsea & Splash Zone: Water-activated resin makes it perfect for wet/underwater repairs.

  • High Chemical Resistance: Impervious to most fuels, chemicals, and solvents.

Qualified Composite Repair Systems

At Icarus Composites, we make sure to test our Composite Materials to the most stringent industrial standards ensuring we deliver the highest quality composite pipe and tank repairs possible.

Our Composite Systems are qualified to both ISO 24817 & ASME PCC-2 to make sure they meet the requirements of both international standards.
