Chemical Resistance Products
XCorr® SA
XCorr® SA provides a composite repair solution specifically for sulfuric acid piping. A two-part novolac epoxy is paired with with fiberglass reinforcements to create an acid resistant pipe wrap able to seal leaks and withstand high internal pressure.
XCorr® SA is a hand-applied composite wrap repair designed to seal leaks and provide future containment on piping suffering from reduced wall thickness. The repair approach utilizes a 2-part epoxy system selected to resist degradation upon exposure to sulfuric acid, regardless of concentration. The epoxy is supplied in pre-measured and ratioed quantities to insure the precise mixing required to obtain optimal chemical resistance. The epoxy is combined with high performance fiberglass reinforcement fabrics and a technical felt to provide superior leak sealing capacity and strong interfacial bonding. XCorr® SA is recommended for pressure applications up to 1,000 psi (70 kg/cm2) with a built in 4:1 safety margin. The composite repair approach provides a timely pathway to leak containment without the need for immediate metal work.
Shelf Life: Part A: 12 months at 75°F (24°C). Part B: 12 months at 75°F (24°C)
Storage Temperature: 32 to 100°F (0 to 43°C), 0-100% relative humidity
Application Temperature: 50 to 150°F (10 to 65°C)
Surface Preparation: Surfaces must be cleaned of all corrosion products and scale. A bright metal finish is desired (minimum SSPC-SP6 specifications). If possible, the pipe should be at ambient temperature before application.
