Flexible reinforced pipe and reinforcement tape

A flexible pipe comprising:

• an inner liner formed as a tube and having an outer surface and an inner surface defining an inner diameter;
• a reinforcement layer applied about the inner liner and including at least a first ply of fiber reinforcements helically wrapped in a first helical direction about the inner liner and a second ply of fiber reinforcements helically wrapped about the first ply, the second ply helically wrapped in a second helical direction opposite to the first helical direction;
• and an outer jacket applied over the reinforcement layer, the inner liner, the reinforcement layer and the outer jacket each including a thermoplastic and the inner liner having an outer diameter and a wall thickness and an outer diameter to wall thickness ratio of 30:1 to 50:1.

A reinforcing tape comprising:

• a plurality of glass reinforcing fibers and a matrix about the plurality of glass reinforcing fibers to hold the plurality of glass reinforcing fibers in the form of a tape, the matrix including thermoplastic and a coupling agent to enhance the bonding of the thermoplastic to the plurality of glass reinforcing fibers.

A reinforcing tape comprising:

• a plurality of reinforcing fibers and a matrix about the plurality of reinforcing fibers to hold the reinforcing fibers in the form of a tape, the matrix including thermoplastic and an additive to increase the impact resistance of the thermoplastic.
