Abstract
Abstract A piper liner laminate and method of making a pipe including this liner are disclosed herein. The liner comprises a central layer preferably of either polyethylene or polypropylene sandwiched between first and second layers of fibrous material, for example polyester mat, which are laminated together preferably by a mechanical bond. Constructed in this manner, the liner, which is especially suitable for sewer pipe, provides a reliable barrier preventing corrosive chemicals from penetrating therethrough and into the wall of the pipe.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
178 words
A method of making a pipe having a body portion and an inner protective liner, said method comprising: (a) forming a corrosion resistant and flexible laminate strip which is longer than it is wide, said strip including: (i) a central layer of solid polyolefin homopolymer polymerized from an olefin monomer having 2 to 3 carbon atoms, (ii) an innermost layer of fibrous material bonded to one side of said central layer, and (iii) an outermost layer of fibrous material bonded to the opposite side of said central layer; (b) at least partially saturating said innermost and outermost layers with a resinous bonding substance in liquid state; (c) winding said laminate strip around a mandrel so as to completely cover a predetermined portion of said mandrel, said strip being wound so that it defines a helical path and includes overlapping longitudinal edges having said bonding substance therebetween; (d) forming the body portion of said pipe around said flexible laminate and in contact with said resinous substance in said outer layer of fibrous material, and (e) curing said resinous material.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
178 words
A method of making a pipe having a body portion and an inner protective liner, said method comprising: (a) forming a corrosion resistant and flexible laminate strip which is longer than it is wide, said strip including: (i) a central layer of solid polyolefin homopolymer polymerized from an olefin monomer having 2 to 3 carbon atoms, (ii) an innermost layer of fibrous material bonded to one side of said central layer, and (iii) an outermost layer of fibrous material bonded to the opposite side of said central layer; (b) at least partially saturating said innermost and outermost layers with a resinous bonding substance in liquid state; (c) winding said laminate strip around a mandrel so as to completely cover a predetermined portion of said mandrel, said strip being wound so that it defines a helical path and includes overlapping longitudinal edges having said bonding substance therebetween; (d) forming the body portion of said pipe around said flexible laminate and in contact with said resinous substance in said outer layer of fibrous material, and (e) curing said resinous material.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
24 words
A method according to claim 1 including forming said flexible laminate by mechanically bonding together said central layer and said innermost and outermost layers.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
36 words
A method according to claim 2 wherein said last-mentioned forming step includes at least partially melting said central layer, embedding the latter into said layers of fibrous material and thereafter allowing the central layer to harden.
