Damage Repair:
Sylmasta Pipe Refurbishment System Stage 2

When a pipe has suffered external damage caused by corrosion, chemical attack or other environmental factors, epoxy putties and pastes are used to repair and refurbish pipelines.

An epoxy is applied to fill in pitting and other weaknesses, restoring surface profile and the integrity of the pipeline. Epoxies also provide full contact and load spreading between the pipe and the composite wrap, further strengthening the repair.

Industrial Metal and Titanium HT Supergrade epoxy pastes are applied to metal and plastic using a hand tool, pushed into and smoothed over larger areas of damage. They are reinforced with corrosion resistant platelets and set to an ultra smooth finish. Titanium HT is formulated for high temperature repair.

Epoxy putties are applied by hand. Sylmasta AB fills in large areas of damage on all pipe materials, is effective for underwater repair and can be used as a sacrificial layer in chemically aggressive environments.

For faster repairs but with less chemical and corrosion resistance, AB Rapid has a 5 minute work time for use on large sections and Superfast Epoxy Putties can be used for damage repair to smaller areas, with Superfast Titanium for extreme temperature applications.

Industrial Metal has been independently tested to BS 6920 standard, meaning that when used with a SylWrap HD Pipe Repair Bandage it is certified to British standards as safe to use on pipes carrying drinking water. Superfast Steel has WRAS approval for approved repairs to drinking water pipes.
