Damage Repair
The repair of external damage to pipes caused by corrosion and other environmental factors is carried out with epoxy putties or pastes and forms the second stage of the Sylmasta Pipe Refurbishment System.
Epoxies restore the integrity of the pipeline by rebuilding thickness and bringing a line back up to specification. They provide full contact and load spreading between the pipe surface and the composite layer of the repair, which is added at stage four.
Two epoxy pastes and six epoxy putties make up the Sylmasta Damage Repair range. Pastes are applied using a knife, trowel or other hand tool. They come with a longer working time for filling large areas of damage and rebuilding worn pipelines.
Industrial Metal is Sylmasta’s standard epoxy repair paste and suitable for most pipe applications. It has a work time of one hour. For extreme temperature applications up to 250°C, instead use Titanium Supergrade High Temperature. Titanium Supergrade HT has a three hour work time.
Epoxy putties are mixed and applied by hand. Sylmasta AB has a two hour work time, bonds well underwater and offers high chemical resistance. It comes in either a 200g stick where the user cuts the required amount of putty and kneads by hand, or as a two-part putty. Keeping the resin and hardener as separate components enables greater control over the measuring and mixing process.
Sylmasta AB Rapid is a faster working version. The increased speed of repair is offset by AB Rapid having less chemical resistance and not being suitable for use underwater.
For smaller sections of damage repair, Superfast Epoxy Putty Sticks are used. Each stick is pre-formatted for easy mixing; simply cut off the amount of putty required, knead by hand and apply to the pipe.
Superfast Steel is suitable for most damage repair, Superfast Titanium is formulated for high temperature applications up to 280°C and Superfast Aqua Potable Water for underwater and wet surfaces.
Once you have selected your damage repair product, you move onto stage three of the Sylmasta Pipe Refurbishment System – Surface Coating.
