APP’s CryoTek Pipe Shoe is a cutting-edge, nonmetallic pipe support solution for extreme temperature conditions. It is ideal for cryogenic piping systems that involve gas liquefaction, LNG terminals/carriers, ethylene plants, or any cryogenic process piping. Although our CryoTek Pipe Shoe was originally developed for use in cryogenic conditions (-320°F), the shoe also offers unparalleled performance in temperatures up to +400°F. The CryoTek Pipe Shoe is the premier solution for elevated piping systems.
The CryoTek Pipe Shoe consists of a single monolithic unit, formed under a vacuum from continuous strand glass mat in a revolutionary new hybrid thermosetting resin around a core of low-density polyurethane foam insulation.

Provided the product is properly installed, utilized, and maintained, we expect the life of the product to match the life of the project.
Our cured resin system has an 8 percent flexibility factor while maintaining a compressibility factor of 27,500 psi.
We have tested our composite material down to -320°F (-196°C). CryoTek IPN Composite Technology demonstrates the best performance in cryogenic conditions.

Yes, we can make custom sizes to fit your project requirements.
Installation depends on size. Each pipe shoe is installed with epoxy and banding. Please see installation instructions here.
We have historically used a static coefficient of friction for E-Glass FRP of 0.2. Yes, we can embed a stainless steel "slide plate" to the bottom of the CryoTek shoe.
EX-100 Adhesive is a flexible, two-part epoxy with high overlap shear strength. It was developed for aerospace applications and is specifically formulated to bond lightweight composites to metallic materials.
View ProductStatic mixers ensure optimum performance of two-component adhesives by dividing and recombining the materials into a homogeneous stream.
View ProductThe manual applicator is a robust, metallic applicator that allows for the epoxy to be dispensed easily and reliably at a consistent ratio.
