Superfast Plastic Epoxy Putty Stick

How to fix a leaking pipe using Superfast Plastic Epoxy Putty Stick

Superfast Plastic Stick comes pre-measured with the correct 1:1 ratio of resin to hardener. The user simply cuts the required amount of putty from the stick and kneads by hand.

The two contrasting colours blend into a uniform white to indicate successful mixing. Whilst Superfast Plastic Epoxy Putty is still soft, the user then pushes it into the crack or hole in pipework.

Superfast Plastic has a work life of approximately 5-10 minutes. It hardens within 15-20 minutes to form a solid, watertight material sealing the hole. It achieves working strength in one hour and a full cure with maximum properties in 24 hours.

When pipe reprofiling or rebuilding damage by increasing the outer wall thickness of weakened sections, the users presses Superfast Plastic firmly onto the area requiring improvement. It cures to create a flat, smooth surface.

Reinforcement with SylWrap HD Pipe Repair Bandage

Sylmasta recommend reinforcing plastic pipe repairs made with Superfast Plastic by overwrapping the epoxy putty with a SylWrap HD Pipe Repair Bandage.

SylWrap HD is a water-activated composite wrap. It sets rock-hard in minutes to form an impact resistant layer of protection covering Superfast Plastic for a permanent repair.

Slower setting and wet surface epoxy putty for plastic pipe repair

For complex plastic pipe repair applications requiring longer than 5 minutes to mix and apply epoxy putty, please see Sylmasta AB Original Epoxy Putty.

AB Original comes with a two-hour work time. The extended cure means the user does not need to rush mixing or application through worry about the putty curing off too quickly.

For plastic pipe repair underwater or where the surface cannot be completely dried, please see Superfast Aqua PW Epoxy Putty. Superfast Aqua PW sets white like Superfast Plastic but contains a special formulation for very high wet surface adhesion.

It also has WRAS approval, meaning it is certified as safe to British standards for use on pipes and fittings carrying drinking water.
