PES 108 Pipe Repair Tape

PES 108 Pipe Repair Tape is a high performance rapid curing moisture activated repair bandage, specifically developed for the repair of leaking pipes, which is activated by immersion in water.

• Apply to hand prepared or mechanically cleaned surfaces
• Rapid curing – fully cured in 30mins
• Up to 72.5psi to 218psi pressure resistance

ALL PRESSURE MUST BE REMOVED FROM THE PIPE PRIOR TO ANY WORK BEING CARRIED OUT.

Cure Times

At 68°F (20°C) the applied materials should be allowed to harden for the times indicated below before being subjected to the conditions indicated. These times will be extended at lower temperatures and reduced at higher temperatures:

• Usable Life – 3 mins
• Full Cure – 30 mins

Pack Sizes

This product is available in the following pack sizes –

• 2″ x 6ft – 50mm x 1.8mtr
• 2″ x 12ft – 50mm x 3.6mtr
• 3″ x 12ft – 75mm x 3.6mtr
• 4″ x 12ft – 100mm x 3.6mtr
• 4″ x 30ft – 100mm x 9.1mtr

Colour

Mixed material – White

Over-coating times

• Minimum – the applied material can be over-coated as soon as it is touch dry.
• Maximum – the over-coating time should not exceed 1 hour.

Where the maximum over-coating time is exceeded, the material should be allowed to harden before being abraded to remove surface contamination.

Low pressure pipe repairs up to 72.5psi (5bar) pressure.

Surface Preparation – Hand tools such as wire brush, coarse sandpaper & metal file

1. All oil and grease must be removed from the surface using an appropriate cleaner such as MEK.
2. All surfaces must be cleaned using wire brush, metal file, coarse sandpaper etc.
3. Once abraded, the surface must be degreased and cleaned using MEK or similar type material.

Mixing & Application

Prior to mixing please ensure the following:

1. The ambient & surface temperature is above 41°F (5°C).

Once this check has been carried out, please proceed with mixing the product.

1. Immerse the bandage in water and squeeze two or three times for about five seconds prior to use.
2. Remove roll from water.
3. Center tape over the leaking surface and wrap the bandage around the pipe, pulling firmly throughout application.
4. After 2-3 minutes resin foam will come through the tape, which is desirable and aided by pulling tightly.
5. Continue wrapping until the entire roll is applied, building to a minimum thickness of 0.30 (7.5mm) over the leak.
6. Wet your gloves in water, smooth and firmly press the wet resin back into the wrap.
7. KEEP HANDS MOVING QUICKLY AND WET GLOVES FREQUENTLY TO AVOID STICKING.
8. Once the resin has stopped foaming ensure the resin is as smooth as possible and leave to cure.

Guide to pipe diameter, pressure, operating temperature, bandage width & repair width

Medium pressure pipe repairs up to 145psi (10bar) pressure.

Surface Preparation –Mechanical preparation using handheld grinders with coarse pads

1. All oil and grease must be removed from the surface using an appropriate cleaner such as MEK.
2. All surfaces must be cleaned using handheld mechanical grinders with a coarse pad.
3. Once abraded, the surface must be degreased and cleaned using MEK or similar type material.

3. After 2-3 minutes resin foam will come through the tape, which is desirable and aided by pulling tightly.
4. Continue wrapping until the entire roll is applied, building to a minimum thickness of 0.49″ over the leak (12.5mm).
5. Wet your gloves in water, smooth and firmly press the wet resin back into the wrap.
6. KEEP HANDS MOVING QUICKLY AND WET GLOVES FREQUENTLY TO AVOID STICKING.
7. Once the resin has stopped foaming ensure the resin is as smooth as possible and leave to cure.
