Liner & Resin ByAPS
APS Liners and Resins are engineered for precision, durability, and flexibility. With options like Houseliner FL, FLT, and FIX, as well as Versa-Glass and Versa-Liner, they provide versatile and dependable solutions that navigate bends and transitions effortlessly. Paired with high-performance epoxy, silicate, and UV resins, APS systems deliver long-lasting structural reinforcement and superior adhesion in a wide range of applications.
Versa-Glass is the most flexible liner APS offers, making it ideal for navigating bends and transitions, though its stretch rate can make final placement less predictable. Houseliner FL and FLT also provide excellent flexibility but with more controlled and consistent stretch/shrink rates, allowing for more precise material calculation and placement in complex pipe configurations.
Silicate resin is ideal for sealing active water infiltration, as it cures effectively even in continuously wet environments and does not wash away upon contact with running water. It creates a strong bond, stabilizing the pipe and preparing it for future full-length liners if needed.
Yes, Versa-Glass fiberglass liners offer superior tensile strength, making it perfect for high-pressure point repairs and structural reinforcement projects.
APS liners and resins support multiple curing methods, including UV, hot water, steam, IR, and ambient curing, providing flexibility for different trenchless applications.
Versa-Patch ByAPS
Versa-Patch is a versatile and cost-effective pipe patching system designed for localized repairs, offering a durable solution with minimal disruption.
It works with 2”-6” pipes, including bends, transitions, and straight runs.
Its reusable components, seamless results, and easy adjustability during installation set it apart.
Repairs made with Versa-Patch can last up to 50 years.
APS provides hands-on training and certification to ensure successful installation.
Protect & Pull ByAPS
Protect & Pull is an innovative trenchless liner storage and delivery system designed to protect materials, streamline workflows, and enable single-operator handling, maximizing efficiency and profitability on every job.
Protect & Pull is compatible with a variety of APS-provided lining materials, including calibration tube, Versa-Liner, Versa-Glass, and Houseliner, ensuring seamless storage, protection, and efficient installation.
Protect & Pull improves efficiency by organizing and protecting liner materials, enabling single-operator handling, and streamlining material preparation, reducing waste, setup time, and labor costs for faster, more profitable installations.
Protect & Pull ensures trenchless liners are kept clean, tangle-free, and protected from environmental damage during storage and transport. By preventing contamination and improper handling, it maintains liners in optimal condition, ready for seamless installation.
Protect & Pull minimizes material waste by preventing tangles and contamination, while its organized dispensing system ensures precise liner usage. Integrated material tracking helps installers optimize efficiency, reducing unnecessary costs and maximizing productivity on the job site.
Versa-Light ByAPS
Versa-Light is an advanced UV curing system that accelerates the resin curing process, ensuring fast and reliable results.
Versa-Light works with pipes ranging from small residential to large industrial sizes.
It is faster, more energy-efficient, and reduces overall job time.
Curing times typically range from 30 minutes to a few hours, depending on the pipe size and material.
Yes, its lightweight and compact design make it easy to transport and set up.
