Fiberglass Repair Cloth
Syntho-Glass® Under Pressure Pipe Repair Kit
Syntho-Glass® is the latest development and technological advancement in the use of composites for remedial repairs to defects and anomalies in pipelines. De-pressurizing and shutdowns are very costly and are not the most desirable method of repairing pipelines. Pipelines that are in jeopardy of a catastrophic failure due to wall thickness erosion, from external and/or internal corrosion, are especially suited for external pipeline reinforcement and containment, using fiberglass cloth / resin composite, such as Syntho-Glass®. Syntho-Glass® is a patented, fiberglass cloth impregnated w/ a resin that is activated by salt or fresh water. Packaged in a hermetically sealed foil pouch, it is ready to use and does not require any measuring or mixing. This fiberglass cloth tape can be applied underwater, in humid or dry conditions, including tropical climates. The initial cure (setting) time of Syntho-Glass® is 30-60 minutes w/ a complete cure in less than 24 hours @ 70° F, (21° C). This innovative fiberglass cloth / resin composite, once cured, is resistant to petroleum products, has very good chemical resistance and resists both high and low temperature extremes. Syntho-Glass® is safe to use, non-toxic, non-combustible and odorless. Syntho-Glass® exhibits good adhesion to most surfaces including; steel, iron, pvc, frp and most metals and plastics. After curing it can also be sanded and painted. Syntho-Glass® Under Pressure Pipe Repair Kits are designed for application repairing cracked or broken pipes, under pressure of up to 60 psi and 4" in diameter. There is no need to turn off your system. Permanent or temporary repairs can be made quickly and cost effectively. Each kit consists of Syntho-Glass®, a patented fiberglass cloth impregnated w/ a water activated resin and a special rubber tape, w/ pressure sensitive adhesive used for immediately stopping the leak. Since Syntho-Glass® is activated by water, it is applicable for sub sea applications, such as; 1) repairing leaking pipes, 2) splash zone and corrosion protective barrier coating on pilings, bridges, piers and offshore rig platforms. In the petroleum and gas exploration and production industries, Syntho-Glass® is used for pipe line repairs and reinforcement, for your review.
