Composite Pipe Repair Wrap:
Sylmasta Pipe Refurbishment System Stage 4
A composite pipe repair wrap provides a final, rock-hard, impact resistant layer of protection to pipework. It reinforces previous stages of the Sylmasta Pipe Refurbishment System, reinforces older or worn pipes, and strengthens and extends the lifespan of systems.
The composite layer will usually be provided by a SylWrap Pipe Repair Bandage. SylWrap features a water-activated resin which cures within minutes. To apply SylWrap, the user simply dips the bandage in water and wraps it around the pipework.
SylWrap Bandage is for pipe reinforcement and increasing hoop strength. It has WRAS approval, meaning it is certified as safe to use on pipes carrying drinking water. SylWrap CR contains additional corrosion inhibitors for enhanced protection against environmental and marine corrosion.
SylShield is three times the thickness of SylWrap. It protects pipelines and welds subjected to intense installation processes or operating in the most abrasive of environments. The extreme thickness enables layers of protection to be built more quickly with less wrapping required.
For more complicated repairs where a wrap cannot be applied such as around complex pipe fittings or tanks, a E190 Epoxy Composite Repair Kit is used.
Strips of Fibreglass Tape are coated with Sylmasta E190 Brushable Epoxy Resin, in effect creating a composite bandage applied as a layered patch repair rather than wrapping. This allows different areas to be repaired in the same application, as well as greater control over the repair and curing process.
WRAS approved pipe repair wrap for reinforcing leak and damage repairs and strengthening pipeline of all materials. It increases pressure resistance, chemical resistance and hoop strength.
