Weicon launches emergency repair kit
01 August 2020
Germany-based Weicon has designed a special repair kit for the emergency repair of defective and damaged pipes and pipelines.
The Weicon Pipe Repair-Kit includes a Repair Stick Steel, a special tape made of fibreglass-reinforced plastic (FRP), assembly instructions and a pair of protective gloves.
The repair tape is impregnated with a special resin and activated by contact with water. Due to the fabric properties of the tape, the resulting high flexibility and the simple processing, the repair kit is particularly suitable for sealing leaks in bends, T-pieces or in spaces difficult to access.
The Pipe Repair-Kit can be processed without additional tools and is used for the reliable and permanent sealing of cracks and leaks. It is suitable for various applications such as pipe repairs and structural reinforcement.
The kit can be used in a wide variety of applications, including for the quick and easy repair of chemical, steam, process and water pipes. It can be used on many different surfaces such as stainless steel, aluminium, copper, PVC, many plastics, fibreglass, concrete, ceramics and rubber.
“It is very easy and quick to use and shows excellent adhesive properties, high pressure and chemical resistance as well as temperature resistance up to 150 deg C. Within 30 minutes, the tape is fully cured and hard-wearing,” explains a spokesman for Weicon, which produces speciality products including special adhesives and sealants, and technical sprays.
