SylWrap SC is a super conformable, flexible pipe bandage which wraps more tightly around complex pipe shapes like bends and joints

SylWrap SC Pipe Repair Bandage

SylWrap SC Super Conformable Pipe Repair Bandage is a water-activated composite wrap with a special knitted open weave, making it is as flexible as possible for more effective application on pipework with complex geometries.

Whereas the high-density fibres of SylWrap HD Pipe Repair Bandage are rigid and can struggle to conform around tight angles and sharp changes in geometry, SylWrap SC fits into crevices and encapsulates difficult joints and contours more easily.

SylWrap SC is ideal for wrapping around elbows, tees, steps, flanges and reducing spools. Applying it to a pipe increases pressure resistance, chemical resistance and hoop strength – extending the lifespan of systems.

It will also reinforce leak and damage repairs made using epoxy putties, pastes, coatings, or pipe repair tapes by providing a thick, rock-hard and impact resistant layer over the initial sealant.

The fast-working resin in SylWrap SC begins to cure within minutes, allowing for rapid repairs. It is temperature resistant to 250°C and effective on pipes of all sizes made of steel, stainless steel, copper, malleable iron, GRP, ceramic, most plastics, clay, concrete, rubber and lead.

About

How to make a flexible repair to a complex pipe shape with SylWrap SC

SylWrap SC is easy to use. Dipping the flexible pipe repair bandage into water activates the resin. It is then wrapped tightly around the pipework which requires strengthening or protection.

Further water is used to smooth SylWrap SC down as the application continues, ensuring the bandage fully conforms to the pipe. Once the resin has cured, the finished repair will offer fantastic uniformity.

SylWrap SC has a work time of 2-5 minutes. A functional cure is achieved in 30 minutes and a full cure with maximum properties in 24 hours.

Sylmasta make all their own composite pipe repair and protection bandages at their world-leading production facility in the United Kingdom. This guarantees fresh product, a reliable supply chain and reduced lead times.

Making a super conformable pipe repair using SylWrap SC

This demonstration video shows how the knitted open weave of SylWrap SC enables the bandage to better conform around difficult pipe shapes compared with the rigid fibres of SylWrap HD.

SylWrap SC was wrapped along a section of test pipe around a step joint, an elbow bend and a large, bulky rubber mass left behind by a Wrap & Seal live leak repair.

Despite the numerous contours across the pipe, SylWrap SC showed fantastic uniformity to leave the line encompassed with a rock-hard, impact resistant shell.
