This solution ensured a quick return to service after several holes and leaks were identified across a drains line.

To effectively repair damaged areas and extend the operating life of the equipment, clients enlisted our high performance Emergency Leak Sealing Coating and Polymer Blend technology.

Step 1: Surface Preparation is the necessary first step in any repair project. The Bristle Blaster easily and effectively removes corrosion, mill scale and coatings. It’s ATEX approved for use in Zone 1 (potentially explosive applications) and combines the ability to produce an abrasive blasted finish with the high mobility and flexibility of a portable hand-held tool.

Step 2: ARC 5 ES is kneaded and rolled into a cone shape and forced hard against the leak point, stopping the leak. A Tourniquet locks the ARC 5 plug into position while it rapidly cures, and the Tourniquet is removed.

Step 3: ARC 10 Metal Compound is applied around the full circumference of the pipe, ensuring good surface coverage and it wets out the prepared surface completely. The high polymer blend is also applied to a reinforcement wrap which encapsulates the circumference of the pipe.

Step4: ARC 10 cures rapidly and the Live Leak Sealing project is complete. The damaged areas have been repaired with minimal down time required and the equipment is protected against erosion, corrosion and chemical attack.
