AquaWrap® Bandages

Aquawrap® G-03 & G-05

Highly Conformable Tape and Woven Roving Fabric Constructions

AquaWrap® is a low cost composite system for use in repair and reinforcement of existing mechanical systems, structures and piping. Furnished factory-impregnated with the proprietary 22-77 resin system. It is odorless and solvent-free. Cured Aquawrap® is a very durable, high long term strength material, impervious to fuels, most chemicals and solvents. It permanently bonds to a wide variety of surfaces such as metals, composites, concrete, plastics and wood. This product meets the requirements of the ASME PCC-2 standard and is certified to ANSI/NSF Standard 61.

AquaWrap® is ready to apply, right out of the bag and cures by way of a chemical reaction with field-applied water. This offers considerable advantages over conventional cloth-resin systems in that there is no resin measuring, mixing, spreading, solvents, or dripping polymer mess.

Attention

All of the following data are based on laboratory conditions, at room temperature. Field conditions can radically change the characteristics of this product. Higher temperatures will lessen the working life of the product. Allow adequate time for application. Field testing is strongly recommended prior to application.

Storage

Store at 60-90° F in a dry place. Keep from freezing. Dispose of any leftover material.

Handling

Aquawrap® is shipped in a sealed protective bag to protect it from atmospheric moisture. Because it cures with the application of water (and air humidity), care must be taken in handling the sealed bags to prevent puncturing or scuffing, which would cause the product to cure in the bag. Once the bag is opened and the Aquawrap® is exposed to the humidity in the air, it will begin to cure and will gel within about 60 minutes. Therefore, work must be well planned prior to opening the bag. Aquawrap® requires no other special handling or application procedures. This resin is slightly irritating to certain sensitive people; it will give off a small amount of carbon dioxide vapor while curing; and the cured resin is permanent and very difficult to remove, so gloves, safety glasses and other personnel protection equipment appropriate for the task must be used.

Shelf Life

12 months from date of sale, in an unopened package, stored in cool warehouse conditions.
