Syntho-Shield Tape Wrapping Pipe & Pipeline Repair System By Neptune Research, Inc.

A two-component wrapping system with exceptional strength for corrosion protection in soil or below the water line.

Product Information

The Syntho-Shield™ system is comprised of two components, the Syntho-Glass® material for mechanical and corrosion abilities as well as a Petrolatum Tape undercoating for long term corrosion protection. Syntho-Shield™ is an innovative system that offers exceptional mechanical and impact strength for underwater, underground and above ground corrosion protection coating applications.

Typical Applications

Corrosion, Insulation, Sealing, and Waterproof Protection for:

Pipes, flanges, joints and valves for underwater, above and below ground.
Underwater pipelines and platform rig superstructures.
Concrete, steel and wooden pilings, in the splash zone, above and below water line.
Jetty, bridge and pier pilings, as well as, superstructure supports.
Oil, water and chemical pipelines for underwater, above and below ground.
Municipal water and wastewater treatment piping systems.
Industrial and institutional plant piping and duct systems

Application

Preparation & Application

1. Clean off all loose scale, rust and other foreign objects.

2. Apply the Petrolatum Tape, a 50% overlap is recommended. Wrap tightly, firmly press and smooth all lap seams. Remove any air pockets, by molding with your hands, in the direction of the wrap.

3.Using the rubber gloves supplied, remove Syntho-Glass® from the hermetically sealed foil pouch and soak in temperate water, salt or fresh, for 20-30 seconds. If the application is under water, do not open the foil pouch of Syntho-Glass® until ready to begin installation.

4.Remove Syntho-Glass® from the bag and begin wrapping tightly. A 50% overlap is recommended. Squeeze and mold the Syntho-Glass® with your hands, in the direction of the warp, removing excess water and spreading resin until tacky.

5.Note: For best results, a UV protective paint coating is suggested on applications where Syntho-Shield™ is exposed to the sun. Applications on high impact zones, such as pier pilings and splash zone coatings, require 8 layers of Syntho-Glass® for maximum strength.
