Another method of manufacture of solid-wall pipe is to extrude and wrap molten sheets or strips of thermoplastic around the outside surface of a tubular mandrel. Where this method is used, this pipe is manufactured to a controlled inside diameter. Continuous fiberglass-reinforced thermosetting resin pipe is generally manufactured in this manner. Some types of spiral-strip-wound composite piping are manufactured by being formed against the inside surface of a tubular fixture.

In the context of corrosion, composites refer to glass or other fiber or flake-reinforced thermosetting resins. Composite products use for their anticorrosion properties are fiberglass-reinforced pipe and storage tanks, fiber-reinforced plastic grating, handrails, I-beams, and other shapes equal to these that are made of steel.

Fiberglass-Reinforced Plastics. To obtain high-quality pipe connections, the surfaces to be joined must be roughened and the pipes carefully tapered. Polyester adhesives or thermosetting epoxy resin adhesives are best suited for bonding. A pressure of 50 -100 N/cm is applied to the joined surfaces.
