Syntho-Glass
| | |
|
Syntho-Glass® is a patented fiberglass cloth impregnated with a resin that is activated by salt or fresh water. Syntho-GlassŪ is packaged in a hermetically sealed foil pouch, is ready to use and does not require any measuring or mixing. This fiberglass cloth tape can be applied in cold, hot, humid, or arid conditions; including tropical climates. The initial cure (setting) time of Syntho-GlassŪ is 30-60 minutes with a complete cure in less than 24 hours @ 70°F (21°C).
The lower the ambient temperature, the longer the cure and setting times.

Pressure Resistance
The number of fiberglass cloth layers is dictated by the type of repair to be made as well as the application variables. As a "rule of thumb", a minimum of 4 layers is recommended for
corrosion protection applications. For leak repairs with operating pressures up to 300 psi on small diameter pipes
(< 4" diameter) 8 layers of Syntho-GlassŪ is recommended over the primary sealer. For pipe containment and reinforcement, the number of layers required is dictated by the pipe diameter, pipe specifications, percent of wall loss and the operating or design pressure rating of the original pipe. For example, a 6" diameter API 5LX-52 test probe, with a ground out anomaly to simulate a 50% wall loss, was coated with an epoxy sealer and over-wrapped with 26 layers of Syntho-Glass®.
At 7,500 psi, the testing equipment began to fail, not the Syntho-Glass® repair sleeve.
For repairs on pipelines, the repair method and the amount of material used for the repair will vary according to the specifications of the repair itself.
Syntho-Glass is available in several widths and lengths as well as in pre- packaged repair kits for small diameter pipe.
