Sylmasta SylWrap HD is a water-activated fibreglass pipe repair bandage in a 50mm x 1.8m wrap for reinforcing small-bore lines of approximately 15-25mm outside diameter. Dip to activate, wrap while soft, and the resin cures into a rock-hard shell that adds wall thickness, corrosion resistance, and hoop strength.
Sylmasta SylWrap HD Pipe Repair Bandage is a water-activated composite fibreglass wrap supplied as a 50mm x 1.8m bandage for compact reinforcement on pipes of approximately 15-25mm outside diameter. It bonds to steel, copper, iron, plastics, concrete, and rubber, including underwater wraps, and WRAS listing supports drinking-water pipe reinforcement.

Product documents: Sylmasta SylWrap HD Pipe Repair Bandage Technical Data Sheet
What is Sylmasta SylWrap HD and how does it strengthen pipe?
Sylmasta SylWrap HD is a composite fibreglass wrap with a water-activated resin that sets rock hard in minutes to reinforce and refurbish damaged or worn pipes that have fallen below specification. Typical uses include strengthening older water and wastewater lines, reinforcing sealed leak repairs, protecting pipe in abrasive plant environments, and marine fuel, water, and waste wraps. Once cured, it forms an impact-resistant protective shell that increases wall thickness, pressure resistance, corrosion resistance, chemical resistance, and hoop strength.
Which outside diameters does the SylWrap HD 50mm x 1.8m bandage (SYL206HD) cover?
Sylmasta SylWrap HD (SYL206HD) is the 50mm x 1.8m wrap mapped to approximately 15-25mm outside diameter on the SylWrap HD TDS size chart. Step up to the 75mm x 2.7m sister (SYL309HD) for 25-50mm OD, or to 100mm and wider sizes for larger mains. Always match wrap width and length to the published OD range before specifying.
How fast does SylWrap HD set after water activation?
Dip Sylmasta SylWrap HD in water to activate the resin, then wrap the pipe or structure while the bandage is still workable. Working time is 2 to 5 minutes depending on temperature, initial cure is 7 to 10 minutes, functional cure is 30 to 45 minutes, and full cure with maximum properties is 24 hours. Keep the foil pouch sealed until use; piercing the pouch can cause premature cure.
Does Sylmasta SylWrap HD carry WRAS Approval for drinking water?
Yes. SylWrap HD carries WRAS Approval, so it is listed as suitable for pipes and fittings carrying drinking water. That supports potable-line reinforcement and overwraps where a WRAS-listed material is required. Always follow site hygiene rules and confirm the finished repair meets the local water-system specification before returning the line to service.
How do I reach the 30 bar / 435 psi leak pressure figure on SylWrap HD?
The TDS lists maximum leak pressure resistance of 30 bar / 435 psi depending on pipe and leak size; the hole must be sealed with epoxy filler first to reach that maximum. Maximum service temperature is 250°C / 480°F, with field notes for temporary steam service at 20 bar and lab thermal stability up to 300°C. For designed pipe reinforcement, pressure resistance can follow ASME PCC-2 guidance with Sylmasta engineering input.
What materials and environments can SylWrap HD wrap on?
SylWrap HD can be applied to steel, copper, malleable iron, GRP, ceramic, clay, most plastics, concrete, rubber, and other materials. It can be used underwater for marine and submerged repairs. Where a leaking pipe has already been sealed, overwrapping the sealant with SylWrap HD reinforces the initial repair with a rock-hard composite shell.
