HJ3’s CarbonSeal™ Industrial Composite Systems Receive PEMEX Approval for Steel Pipe Repair and Reinforcement
HJ3 has reached a major milestone with the approval of its CarbonSeal™ Industrial Composite Systems by PEMEX, one of Mexico’s most respected energy companies. This endorsement allows HJ3 to offer its advanced carbon fiber solutions for repairing and reinforcing both low-risk and high-risk corroded or damaged steel pipelines. The system is now approved for use across all stages of oil and gas operations—onshore, offshore, exploration, refining, transmission, and distribution.
"This is a huge step forward for HJ3," said Jim Butler, President and Co-founder of the company. "With over 10,000 applications completed globally in civil and industrial infrastructure, this approval opens up exciting opportunities in the Latin American energy sector. Our carbon fiber products are known for their exceptional strength per layer, offering a more cost-effective solution compared to traditional repair methods or full pipeline replacement."
The qualification was conducted by the Instituto Mexicano del Petróleo (IMP) and followed strict standards such as ASME PCC-2 Article 4.1 Appendix III and ISO/TS 24817. Notably, HJ3’s CarbonSeal™ system passed a burst test, proving it can handle internal pressures above 5,000 psi—even when applied to pipes with 80–90% wall loss.
2012 marks a decade of innovation for HJ3 Composite Technologies. The company was recently awarded the Arizona Innovation Challenge Grant for the second year in a row, beating out over 400 competitors. It also received the title of "Technology Company of the Year" from the Minority and Small Business Alliance of Southern Arizona. With over 25 years of large-scale testing and 20,000 hours of durability assessments, HJ3 continues to support major global players like ExxonMobil, Shell Oil, British Petroleum, and now PEMEX, providing materials with unmatched strength, engineering support, and on-site quality control.
PEMEX, or Petróleos Mexicanos, is the largest company in Mexico and Latin America. As a key player in the country's economy, it contributes significantly to national development. PEMEX is one of the few global oil companies that manages every stage of petroleum production—from exploration to refining, and finally to the distribution of refined products.
