Verwerkingseigenschappen van Lebit

Lebit combineert de vele eigenschappen van de toegepaste grondstoffen tot een uniek product

Het resultaat is een homogene thermoplastische massa die vanwege zijn viscositeit in de voorbereide verloren schalen uit de thermo-mixer wagen gegoten wordt

This product is poured into old pipes, most often heating systems, to provide them with a new, flexible inner-coat
that is also very inexpensive when compared to replacing the entire system. I am fairly certain that 'verloren schalen' refers to the old pipes, but this is a very strange reference, unless I am missing something here.

lost shells
Explanation:
What they seem to be talking about here Johan, are lost shells. 'Lost' because they are not visible. See the reference below, which refers to cement instead of Lebit ("leicht bitumen").

http://www.wipo.int/pctdb/en/wo.jsp?WO=1991000974
The invention relates to a pipe connection for advance working pipes which are laid underground by an advance working technique and which have an inner cast iron pipe on which the compressive force is exerted during advance working. Each advance working pipe consists of a sleeveless inner cast iron pipe (4) and a coaxial outer casing pipe (6) which constitutes a lost shell for an intermediate layer of cement-containing material between the inner and the outer pipe. The pipe connection comprises at least one packing ring (9) arranged on a projecting section of the inner cast iron pipe.
