Applications
This kind of PE UD tape is especially suitable for high-strength pipes in the oil and gas industry. Pipes coated with continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites are called reinforced thermoplastic pipes (RTP). They are much stronger than metal or plastic pipes made of traditional materials.
