Pipe Reprofiling & Damage Repair
SylWrap Pipe Refurbishment System Stage 2
The Pipe Reprofiling & Damage Repair Stage improves the condition of pipelines attacked by corrosion, chemicals or other factors. Applying an epoxy compound to the exterior surface restores pipeline integrity, rebuilds outer wall thickness, brings a pipe back to specification and removes sharp angles before wrapping.
Where pitting or other defects are present, epoxies fill in and repair the damage to rebuild weakened areas. Reprofiling also smooths out edges and removes steps to create an even surface, providing full contact and load spreading between the pipe and the composite wrap (added at Stage 4).
Industrial Metal Epoxy Paste and Titanium HT Supergrade Epoxy Paste are used for reprofiling 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. 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.
