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.
