SylWrap Universal Pipe Repair Kit details

The Universal Kit contains Superfast Epoxy Putty Stick, Wrap & Seal Pipe Burst Tape and SylWrap Pipe Repair Bandage for fixing leaking pipes.

If pressure cannot be turned off, Wrap & Seal is used to seal the leak. The waterproof repair tape is made from self-amalgamating silicone which stretches by 300 percent.

When wrapped around pipes, it will bond to both the substrate and itself. Once fused, it forms a solid rubber band maintaining pressure over the leak, thus sealing it.

Each Universal Kit comes with one Wrap & Seal Tape. For high pressure industrial repairs, further Wrap & Seal may be required to build up pressure resistance. Multiple tapes applied over each will fuse together in the same way, capable of creating a repair with resistance as high as 30 bar.

If you are undertaking such a high-pressure application, then please go to the Repair Calculator tab and enter information about your repair to determine the number of tapes needed. Additional Wrap & Seal can be purchased separately.

Universal Kits covering pipes over 150mm diameter include a SylPad Pressure Resistance Multiplier. SylPad is used with Wrap & Seal to better concentrate the pressure of the Tape directly over the leak on larger pipes

If pressure can be turned off, Superfast Epoxy Putty is used to seal the leak. To use a Superfast Epoxy Stick, you cut off the amount of putty required and mix it by hand until it turns a uniform colour.

It is then pushed into the hole or crack requiring repair. Within 5–10 minutes, the putty will harden to fill the damage with a watertight material. Repairs made using Superfast Putty are resistant to 30 bar.

The second stage of the repair sees the initial sealant overwrapped with SylWrap Pipe Repair Bandage. SylWrap is a fibreglass repair wrap with a water-activated resin. When wrapped and smoothed over the sealed leak, it will set rock-hard to provide an impact resistant, protective shell.

For regular pipe repair users, Sylmasta have developed the SylWrap Contractor Case containing enough products for up to six pipe repairs. The Case is easy to store either on the van or on site and works out at a cheaper cost-per-repair than buying individual Pipe Repair Kits.

Engineers equipped with a Case have everything readily available to repair burst and leaking pipe as soon as problems are identified, reducing the amount of precious water lost.
