Description
Fibreglass Tape for Composite Pipe & Tank Repairs
Sylmasta Fibreglass Tape is a high-strength reinforcement material designed for use with epoxy resin systems to create durable composite repairs on pipes, tanks and industrial equipment. Its open-weave construction allows complete saturation with epoxy resin, producing a strong, corrosion-resistant repair system capable of restoring and reinforcing damaged surfaces.
Unlike traditional composite repair bandages, Fibreglass Tape offers greater flexibility when working around complex pipe geometries, fittings, flanges, bends and confined spaces. It can be wrapped around pipework or cut into sections and pressed into epoxy resin for patch repairs where wrapping is impractical.
Available in multiple widths and supplied on long-length rolls, Sylmasta Fibreglass Tape is ideal for maintenance teams, engineers and contractors carrying out multiple repairs across industrial, commercial and utility environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Sylmasta Fibreglass Tape used for?
It is used with epoxy resin systems to create composite repairs on pipes, tanks and industrial equipment.
Can it be used instead of composite repair bandages?
Yes. Fibreglass Tape provides a flexible alternative to standard repair bandages, particularly on complex pipe shapes and in confined spaces.
What resin should be used with the tape?
It is commonly used with Sylmasta E190 Brushable Epoxy and other compatible epoxy resin systems.
Can it be used on plastic and metal pipes?
Yes. It is suitable for use on steel, iron, copper, PVC and GRP pipework.
How much tape is required for a repair?
As a general guide, each wrap requires tape length equal to approximately three times the pipe diameter. Multiple layers may be required depending on the repair specification.
Can the tape be used for tank repairs?
Yes. Fibreglass Tape is suitable for reinforcing and repairing both metal and composite tanks.
