Grant: Applied Research and Development Grants - Level 2
Lambton College of Applied Arts and Technology
$75,000.00
Development of a Non-Leaching, Flexible, Rockshield Polymer Formulation for Pipeline Protection
FY 2018-19
Summary
Market analysis shows that the United States Oil & Gas Construction Industry is expected to strengthen over the five years and therefore the oil and gas pipeline construction industry in Canada is also forecast to grow. Pipelines must be protected when they traverse areas of stone or rock. *PipeSak Incorporated is a privately owned Canadian corporation that specializes in innovative pipeline support and protection products. PipeSak has identified an opportunity in the global market for a non-PVC material and is looking to develop such a product. They have partnered with Lambton College's Bluewater Technology Access Centre on the proposed project that will focus on material review to identify potential material candidates, experimental process development using a lab scale twin screw extruder to fabricate test samples as well as lab testing of the samples.*The research team that will consist of multiple researchers and research students will work closely with PipeSak Inc.'s team. The goal of the project is outline recommendations on material selection for PipeSak to continue to develop their manufacturing capabilities in Canada.
