Watch: The benefits of SylWrap SC Super Conformable Pipe Repair Bandage

Sylmasta developed SylWrap SC Pipe Repair Bandage to enable more effective repairs to be made to pipework consisting of difficult shapes and complex geometries like elbow bends, tee sections, step joints, flanges and reducing spools.

Most composite repair wraps like SylWrap HD Pipe Repair Bandage are made from rigid fabrics containing high-density fibres. They are engineered for strength first and foremost, rather than tight conformity to pipework.

As we explain and show in the above video, SylWrap SC is different. It is knitted with a special open weave, making it as flexible as possible. This allows SylWrap SC to conform around tight angles, fit into crevices and encapsulate challenging joints.

SylWrap SC is activated by dipping the bandage into water for a few seconds. It is then wrapped tightly around the pipe requiring repair or strengthening with a 50 percent overlap where possible. It will follow all contours across the pipe.

Whilst wrapping, the bandage is smoothed down with further water so that it adheres tightly to the surface and produces a full cure. Additional SylWrap SC can be added to create a super conformable repair over long sections of pipe.

Wrapping a pipeline with SylWrap SC will increase pressure resistance, chemical resistance and hoop strength by creating a thick, rock-hard shell around the pipe.

The shield provided by SylWrap SC protects the original substrate, extending the lifespan of systems and reducing the chances of the pipe leaking or requiring future repair.

SylWrap SC can also be used to reinforce leak and damage repairs made using epoxy putties, pastes, coatings and pipe repair tapes by providing an impact resistant sleeve over the initial sealant.

Pipes up to 600mm diameter made from steel, stainless steel, copper, malleable iron, GRP, ceramic, most plastics, clay, concrete, rubber and lead can be repaired and reinforced using SylWrap SC.

In this demonstration video, we used SylWrap SC to wrap over a step joint, around a bend and over a Wrap & Seal leak repair which left a significant rubber mass bonded to the pipe. The completed SylWrap SC repair left fantastic uniformity across the entire pipe surface.
