THE ULTIMEATE PIPE REPAIR SYSTEM
Rapp-It is a quick action emergency pipe repair system that stops leaks instantly. Fix leaks fast in 30minutes.It is so simple to use, with no mixing or measuring required. Rapp-It has woven fibreglass substrate impregnated with a water activated polyurethane resin. Major industries such as the mining, industrial, marine and agricultural environments are specific markets and areas of use for Rapp-It products.
Rapp-It is available in 7 convenient sizes:

The waste water pipe had corrosion, mainly at the welding joints on all branch pipes, but also the general surface was largely pitted. The customer required a cost-effective and permanent pipe repair that can withstand the 350-psi operating pressure.
Rapp-it corrosion repair system and Rapp-it steel putty was used together to perform pipeline repair and rehabilitation in this project. First, Rapp-it steel putty was applied to build up and seal the pitted area, then Rapp-it Pipe Repair Bandage was applied to the pipe for reinforcement, constituting a permanent repair.
HINTS AND TIPS FOR RAPP-IT PIPE REPAIR APPLICATION:
- The tightness of the wrap is very important to ensure adhesion of Rapp-it Bandage and Rapp-it Steel Putty to the pipe surface.
- Rapp-it Bandage has a 4-5 minute work life, with full cure in 30 minutes. Water temperature can affect the bandage cure time. Colder water can result in a slower curing time, higher water temperatures can result in a faster cure time.
- Rapp-it Steel Putty has a 4-7 minute work life, with full cure in 30 minutes.
- Rapp-it Steel Putty can be mixed by hand and then moulded into a variety of shapes to fill cracks and holes. When applying to damp, wet or slowly leaking areas work Rapp-it Steel Putty forcefully into the surface and apply pressure until adhesion begins to take effect.
- Difficult or large applications may require multiple bandages.
