Why Use UV CIPP

Cured-in-place-pipe (CIPP) has been embraced in the United States as the most used trenchless construction method for addressing sewer pipe failures according to Underground Construction Magazine. More and more industry leaders are choosing ultraviolet light (UV) to cure CIPP liners, and looks like UV CIPP could be the wave of the CIPP future.

Why should you consider using UV CIPP rather than water and steam cured CIPP sewer lines? Here are some of the primary reasons:

• UV CIPP offers a clean curing process
• It extends wet tube life up to six months or more
• Offers high strength and worry-free curing
• The curing process is short, saving your team time and effort
• Does not cause water or steam condensate discharge

Perhaps one of the most compelling reasons to consider UV CIPP is because it minimalizes styrene emissions. Water and steam cured CIPP sewer liners use a resin that includes an ingredient called styrene. Styrene has been determined by the U.S. government to be “a reasonably anticipated carcinogen.” Though limits on styrene use have not yet been implemented, the risk of a governmental or public outcry is always possible, which could dramatically harm the prospects of companies relying entirely on resins that contain styrene.
