Set for the emergency repair of defective and damaged pipes and pipelines | drinking water approval
The set is ideal for the emergency repair of defective and damaged pipes and pipelines. It comprises one WEICON Repair Stick Multi-Purpose, a special repair tape made of fibreglass-reinforced plastic, assembly instructions and one pair of protective gloves. The repair tape is soaked with a special resin and is activated by contact with water. The Pipe Repair-Kit can be processed without additional tools and provides reliable long-term sealing of cracks and leaks. It is very easy and fast to apply and shows excellent adhesive properties, high resistance to pressure and chemicals as well as high temperature resistance up to 150°C. Within 30 minutes, the tape is fully cured and hard-wearing. Due to the fabric properties of the tape, the resulting high flexibility, and the easy appliaction, the Repair-Kit is especially suitabel for use on pipe bends, T-pieces, or areas difficult to reach. It can be used on many different surfaces, such as stainless steel, aluminium, copper, PVC, many plastics, fibreglass, concrete, ceramic and rubber.
Surface pre-treatment
The successful application of the WEICON Pipe Repair-Kit depends on the thorough surface pre-treatment. Dust, dirt, oil, grease, residues, rust, moisture or wetness have a negative impact on the adhesion. Best results are achieved on clean, solid and roughened surfaces.
The surfaces must be clean, dry and free of grease (metallically clean). Nearly all kinds of surface soilings, like old paint, oil, grease, dust and dirt, can be removed with WEICON Surface Cleaner or WEICON Sealant and Adhesive Remover. For heavily soiled or smooth surfaces, adhesion can be optimised by surface sanding with coarse abrasives.
