E190 Epoxy Pipe & Tank Repair Kit –
Make Multiple Composite Repairs Without Wrapping
The E190 Epoxy Pipe & Tank Repair Kit contains high-strength Sylmasta E190 Brushable Epoxy Resin and Fibreglass Tape. It enables epoxy composite patch repair to take place on complex sections of pipework and tanks where direct wrapping is not possible.
E190 Brushable Epoxy Resin is either brush applied onto surfaces and overlaid with Fibreglass Tape, or coated onto strips of Fibreglass Tape which are then applied to areas requiring repair.
The resin-coated tape will cure to form a rock-hard, impact resistant outer layer similar to a SylWrap HD Pipe Repair Bandage. This layer protects, refurbishes and strengthens pipes and tanks by increasing pressure resistance and hoop strength.
E190 Brushable Epoxy offers excellent protection against corrosion and chemical attack, even under seawater immersion. Repairs are effective on metal, most plastics, GRP and other composites – offering a cost-effective alternative to replacing damaged or weakened structures.
A patch repair does take more time and require more skill than straightforward wrapping with a composite repair bandage like SylWrap HD. But the advantage is patch repairs are effective on inaccessible pipes, difficult shapes and tanks where direct wrapping is not possible.
How to make a composite patch repair using an E190 Epoxy Pipe & Tank Repair Kit
The pipe or tank undergoing an epoxy composite patch repair should be free of paint, rust and grime. Roughening up the surface either through grit blasting or grinding with a coarse wheel or abrasive disc pad improves adhesion.
E190 Brushable Epoxy is a two-part resin. The user mixes Part A and Part B at a 2:1 ratio by volume or weight.
For convenience, there is enough room in the Part A container to empty Part B directly into it. This enables the user to mix and apply E190 Brushable Epoxy Resin straight from the pack.
Application takes place as soon as possible after surface preparation is complete. The user thoroughly mixes E190 Brushable Epoxy Resin before brushing it onto the pipe or tank.
A layer of Fibreglass Tape cut to the required size is then added over the resin.The user coats the Fibreglass Tape with more E190 Brushable Epoxy Resin and applies another layer of Tape over the top.
The application continues in this way until enough layers are built to create a shell thick enough to satisfy the repair requirements. One final coating of E190 Brushable Epoxy Resin then completes the application.
Alternatively, the user can coat E190 Brushable Epoxy Resin onto the Fibreglass Tape and apply direct to the substrate.
Full instructions for surface preparation and how to make a composite patch repair using the E190 Epoxy Pipe & Tank Repair Kit come with the product and are available on the TDS.
E190 Brushable Epoxy Resin has a work time of 30 minutes and a hard dry of 16 hours. Its gel-like consistency means it does not run when applied to vertical surfaces. The maximum temperature resistance of E190 Brushable Epoxy Resin is 100°C.
Customisable formulations of E190 Brushable Epoxy Resin
Because Sylmasta manufactured E190 Brushable Epoxy Resin at their production facility in the United Kingdom, it is possible to formulate specialist versions based on client requirements.
Sylmasta have previously produced E190 Brushable Epoxy Resin with increased chemical and temperature resistance for repairs in petrochemical plants and other extreme environments.
