Product Information Testing Data & Results Preparation & Application

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
  • Municipalities' water and wastewater treatment piping systems
  • Industrial and institutional plant piping and duct systems
Benefits
  • Resistant to temperature extremes
  • Easy to apply, no mixing or messy clean up
  • Resistant to water, acids, salts or soil organics
  • Can be applied to wet surfaces and underwater
  • Minimal surface preparation required
  • Quick, long term protective coating, ready for immediate service

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.
