Damage Repair & Pipeline Strengthening:
Sylmasta Pipe Refurbishment System Stage 2
The Damage Repair Stage strengthens any pipe which has been weakened, degraded or suffered external damage caused by corrosion, chemical attack or other environmental factors. Applying an epoxy compound to the exterior surface of a pipeline restores integrity and surface profile, rebuilds outer wall thickness and brings a line back up to specification.
Where pitting or other pipe damage is present, epoxies fill in and repair the damage. They also provide full contact and load spreading between the pipe and the composite wrap (added at Stage 4 of the Sylmasta Pie Refurbishment System), further strengthening the repair.
Industrial Metal Epoxy Paste and Titanium HT Supergrade Epoxy Paste are used for the strengthening of large areas of metal or plastic pipeline. They are spread over the weakened section with a hand tool, curing to reinforce the original line.
Epoxy putties are applied by hand. Sylmasta AB Original Epoxy Putty rebuilds large areas of damage, makes underwater repairs and can be used as a sacrificial layer in chemically aggressive environments. Its two-hour work time allows more careful application without the threat of premature curing.
For faster repairs of large areas, Sylmasta AB Rapid has a 5-minute work time. 114g Superfast Epoxy Putty Sticks quickly rebuild smaller areas of damage.
Industrial Metal has been independently tested to BS 6920 standard. When used with a SylWrap Pipe Repair Bandage, it is certified to British standards as safe to use with potable water. Superfast Steel and Superfast Aqua PW have WRAS approval for making repairs to pipes carrying drinking.
