Sylmasta Pipe Refurbishment System
The Sylmasta Pipe Refurbishment System is a four-stage process which is designed for pipeline repair, refurbishment, strengthening, and protection in any given scenario.
Repairs made using the Sylmasta Pipe Refurbishment System go beyond what is possible with the SylWrap Leak Repair range of products, providing complex solutions for global pipeline operators and critical infrastructure providers.
The System enables the repair of larger sections of heavy damage; offers protection against internal and external corrosion, chemicals and temperature extremes; and restore the surface profile and integrity of pipelines in the most challenging of environments, including underwater pipe repair.
At each of the four stages of the process, the product most relevant to the application is selected. When used in conjunction with each other, these products enable the optimum repair to be carried out, providing a cost-effective and less disruptive alternative to pipeline replacement.
Some applications may require further specialist solutions. In such instances, Sylmasta can formulate and supply specialist materials, such as composite epoxy resins where very high chemical or temperature resistance is required.


Stage 1: Leak Sealant
When a pipe is leaking and needs to be sealed, the leak sealant acts as the initial layer of repair. Self-fusing silicone tape seals live leaks, and epoxy putties fill cracks where pressure can be isolated. If there is no leak, this stage of the process is skipped.

Stage 2: Damage Repair
Damage repair products restore surface profile and integrity by filling external damage caused by corrosion and chemical attack. They also provide full contact and load spreading between the pipe and the composite layer applied at stage 4.
