SynthoGlass XT Extreme Strength Pipe Repair Kits

Product Name

SynthoGlass XT Extreme Strength Pipe Repair Kits

Brief Description

SynthoGlass XT Extreme Strength Pipe Repair Kits are a unique, pre-impregnated, bi-directional fiberglass composite system designed for the extreme strength repair and reinforcement of both internal and external corrosion on pipes and structures. This factory-saturated product utilizes a moisture-cured polyurethane resin, ensuring optimal fiber-to-resin content ratios for reliable and consistent performance.

Popular Applications & Uses

- Pipeline integrity and reinforcement- Repair of transmission and distribution pipelines- Oil and gas risers, girth welds on vessels and pipelines- Process piping for chemicals, oil, gases, water, and steam- Corrosion under insulation (CUI) and atmospheric corrosion repair- Offshore piping, caisson, and subsea applications- Cooling water tower overspray piping and copper nickel pipe repair- Leaking applications and emergency repairs- Reinforcement of irregular shapes and geometries, including elbows, tees, and flanges- Impact protection

Industries that Commonly Use It

- Petroleum Industry, Products or Services (e.g., oil and gas pipelines, risers)- Chemical Industry (e.g., chemical process piping)- Energy (e.g., power production, nuclear power plants, cooling water lines)- Marine (e.g., offshore piping, subsea applications, shipping)- Construction/Building Services (e.g., infrastructure and structural repairs)- General Manufacturing (e.g., process piping within manufacturing facilities)- Government & Military (due to compliance with various industry and military standards)- Engineering Services (as the product often requires engineered solutions and qualified applicators)- Industrial Supply (as a product distributed to various industrial sectors)

Special and Unique Features

- Extreme strength design for robust and durable repairs- Pre-impregnated, bi-directional composite ensures optimal fiber-to-resin ratios and consistent strength properties- Moisture-cured polyurethane resin significantly reduces composite preparation time- Can be applied to damp, sweating, or immersed surfaces, including underwater environments- No heating or post-curing is required for application- Conforms to stringent industry standards such as ASME PCC-2, ASME B31, ISO TS24817, DOT, API, and CSA Z662- Non-shielding properties- Versatile application to irregular shapes and geometries, eliminating the need for diameter-specific inventory- Requires installation by trained and qualified technicians to be considered an engineered solution- Contains no VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds)

Known backups / known substitutes

- Syntho-Poxy™ HC: A filler component often used with the Syntho-Glass XT system- Syntho-Steel (now ESN-202): A steel-reinforced epoxy putty used as a primary sealant or filler- PPR-220, PPR-290: Primers used as part of the system- Syntho-Coat or Syntho-Glass® UV: Products for UV protection- Other composite pipe repair systems: Examples include Loctite Composite Pipe Repair Systems, SylWrap, Stop It Pipe Repair System, and Thistlebond- Traditional pipe repair methods: Such as welding or complete pipe replacement, though often less efficient and more costly

Comparison Note

SynthoGlass XT offers an engineered, pre-saturated composite solution for extreme strength pipe repair, providing a faster, no-hot-work, and often more cost-effective alternative to traditional pipe replacement or welding. It is specifically designed for demanding industrial applications, offering stronger mechanical properties and a longer working time compared to standard SynthoGlass, making it particularly suitable for larger diameter pipes and complex geometries.
