SylWrap HD Pipe Repair Bandage

SylWrap HD Pipe Repair Bandage is a water-activated composite wrap with low free diisocyanate content below 0.1% which strengthens and protects pipework, extending the lifespan of systems.

Applying SylWrap HD to a pipe increases pressure resistance, chemical resistance and hoop strength. It will reinforce leak and damage repairs made using epoxy putties, pastes, coatings, or pipe repair tape by providing a rock-hard, impact resistant layer over initial sealant materials.

The fast-working resin infused in SylWrap HD begins to cure within minutes, allowing for rapid repairs to be made. Unlike other moisture cured repair wraps, SylWrap HD contains less than 0.1% free diisocyanate.

This means SylWrap HD is not covered by the 2023 EU and UK REACH legislation governing the safe use of diisocyanates and requires no mandatory safety training before use. At the same time, the low hazard formulation offers reduced risk to operators.

SylWrap HD is temperature resistant to 120°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.

Water utilities companies in the United Kingdom keep SylWrap HD on their vans for reinforcing repairs to leaking pipes and burst water mains. SylWrap HD has WRAS Approval, meaning it is certified to British standards as safe to use on pipes carrying drinking water.

Desalination plants, wastewater treatment works, nuclear power plants, oil refineries and fire stations have all used SylWrap HD for pipeline reinforcement. The high chemical resistance of the Bandage enables it to repair hydrogen lines and sulphuric acid lines.

Sylmasta manufacture a specialist composite repair wrap for use in marine applications. SylWrap CR is infused with corrosion inhibitors to protect and strengthen metalwork against all forms of corrosion.

About

How to strengthen and protect pipework with SylWrap HD

SylWrap HD is easy to use. Dipping the Bandage into water activates the resin. The Bandage is then wrapped around the pipework requiring strengthening or protection with further water used to smooth it down as the application continues.

SylWrap HD 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.

To determine the quantity of SylWrap HD and Bandages sizes for a specific reinforcement or strengthening application, please go to the Repair Calculator Tab and enter your data.

Applications

  • Steel pipe repair, copper pipe repair, PVC plastic pipe repair, steel pipe repair, iron pipe repair, GRP pipe repair, ceramic pipe repair, concrete pipe repair, lead pipe repair, rubber pipe repair

Repair Calculator

SylWrap Pipe Repair Bandage Repair Calculator

The below SylWrap Coverage Calculator can be used to determine the optimum SylWrap HD repair for a pipe reinforcement or strenghthening application.

Enter the diameter of the pipe in millimetres, the length of the area to be wrapped in millimetres and the pressure which the pipeline operates under.

The safety factor is a multiple to include a margin of safety. For example, if pipe pressure is 5 bar and you want a safety factor of two, the calculator will formulate a repair capable of withstanding 10 bar.

Once you have entered your data, the calculator will show you the SylWrap Bandage which is recommended for your application, the required thickness of repair, the number of layers to reach the stated thickness and the quantity of bandages required.

If you wish to see the repair requirements for a specific bandage, the SylWrap size can be changed. The calculator will then determine the repair thickness, number of layers and quantity of bandage required.
