United Felts Launches Robust UV CIPP Liner Portfolio, Showcasing Unmatched Innovation in Infrastructure Repair

MARTINSVILLE, Va., June 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- United Felts (Formerly Applied Felts Ltd. & FerraTex Solutions), a pioneer in the water and wastewater infrastructure industry, proudly announces the launch of its new UV CIPP Portfolio manufactured in the U.S.A. This cutting-edge portfolio combines the strengths of United GRP and EnviroCure UV^®, offering comprehensive solutions for varied sewer rehabilitation needs with the unmatched benefits of UV-cured technology.

Expanding Capabilities with United GRP

The latest addition to the portfolio, United GRP, is engineered for gravity sewers and extensive infrastructure projects. Designed with continuous fiberglass, United GRP liners are notable for their exceptional strength and durability, making them perfect for projects requiring long lengths and large diameters. "Our United GRP product defines standards in a structurally strong UV option - with features, including a multi-layer, overlapping construction that allows for a thinner wall, optimizing flow capacity. Furthermore, we're delivering liners in as little as two weeks, giving contractors the longest in hands shelf life so that they can plan properly for projects to meet the needs of their customers," said Mike Vellano, Vortex Companies President & CEO (United Felts Parent Company). These liners are delivered pre-impregnated from any of our wet-out facilities to anywhere in the US and Canada, ensuring rapid, reliable installation, and reducing environmental impact.

Enhanced Flexibility with (Patent Pending) EnviroCure UV

EnviroCure UV, an established choice in the market, is optimized for sections containing multiple laterals. Its unique construction allows the liner to 'dimple' at lateral connections, simplifying the reinstatement process. EnviroCure UV is ideal for environmentally focused and high-profile projects, delivering high strength with a thinner wall that leads to improved flow and reduced abrasion. "The excitement of EnviroCure UV is that it provides the perfect amount of flexibility to allow for dimpling at laterals, while delivering the strength to be a 50-year solution," said Mark Chandler, United Felts Technical Director. 

Looking Ahead

"With the introduction of the 'United Felts UV CIPP Portfolio,' we are not just launching products; we are delivering the most robust suite of options in the market, giving asset owners and contractors the power to choose the best solution for their project," added Matt Timberlake, United Felts President. United Felts continues to lead the way in innovative solutions for the water and wastewater industry.
