The urgencies of battle damage aboard Navy vessels during war were the actual spawning grounds of the Cordobond Resin.

Waterlines torn by shell fragments, piping ruptured by vibration leaking flammable liquids, created the necessity for an emergency patching system that could be carried out quickly and simply without the use of welding tools. The Navy solicited the aid of Cordo Chemical Corporation to develop a dependable patching system that did not require the use of outside heat and a system that could be employed quickly under adverse conditions, using unskilled workers.

An thus, 45 years ago, emerged the Cordobond "Damage Control Metallic Pipe Patch," a revolutionary new system, developed in collaboration with Navy Damage control Training Center, that exceeded all original Navy performance requirements and specifications.

Using this as a base, the system was further modified ad improved until we have the present day Cordobond System. Complete in itself and requiring no special tools, the Cordobond System owes its success to its ambient room temperature curing resin system, combined with various fibrous glass materials. These provided a repair that has high tensile strength and strong adhesion to most any surface. Patches have been successful under hydrostatic pressures from 200 to 1000 psi.

Today, the Cordobond System is being used worldwide by merchant shipping. But Cordobond products have not been confined to shipboard. Large industries are also using the Cordbond System to repair piping systems carrying water, gases, low-pressure steam, oil, gasoline, alcohols, caustics and many other liquids.

The Cordobond System has wide application, is fast, versatile and economical. Anyone understanding the properties and possibilities inherent in Cordbond products will find they offer practical solutions to many vexing problems arising in every phase of industry.
