The Wencon Pipe Tape is a fast curing pipe repair bandage especially formulated to make quick and effective repairs of cracks, leaks, fractures and corrosion porosity.
APPLICATION AREAS
Typical applications are repairs in piping carrying water, oil, steam, most gases and even solvents. Wencon Pipe Tape has good pressure, temperature and chemical resistance.
PACKAGING
Wencon Pipe Tape is available in 3 standard sizes:
- 5 cm x 150 cm (2x 60 inch.), designed for pipes up to 50 mm (2 inch) diameter
- 5 cm x 350 cm, (2x140 inch) designed for pipes up to 125 mm (5 inch) diameter
- 10 cm x 350 cm (4x140 inch) designed for pipes up to 200 mm (8 inch) diameter

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
A pre-impregnated fiberglass bandage for repair of cracks, leaks, fractures and corrosion porosity.
SURFACE PREPARATION
Prepare the surface by cleaning and abrading the area surrounding the damage.
Degreasing with Wencon Bio Cleaner will improve adhesion.
MIXING RATIO
No mixing is required.
Wencon Pipe Tape is pre impregnated with polyurethane resin and is water activated.
POT LIFE
3-6 minutes depending on air and water temperature.
APPLYING
ALWAYS WEAR PROTECTIVE GLOVES
Select the correct size Wencon Pipe Tape.
Prepare the surface by cleaning and grinding the area surrounding the damage.
Stop the leakage with Wencon Putty if necessary.
Unpack the Wencon Pipe Tape and soak it in water for 10 seconds.
Wrap the Wencon Pipe Tape firmly around the pipe with 50% overlap. A minimum of 9 complete windings is recommendable.
Continue to smoothen the surface and to apply pressure to the bandage with a wet- ted glove, until it stops bobbling and starts to cure. This is important for closing the pores.
For larger diameters, use a second bandage to complete the repair. Wencon Pipe Tape requires no tools.
CURING TIME
The bandage hardens in 10 minutes and is fully cured within 1 hour at 20°C (68°F)
MACHINABILITY
No post curing machining necessary.
