High Temperature Resin to Encase Leaking Low Pressure Boiler

High Temperature Resin to Encase Leaking Low Pressure Boiler

High Temperature Resin to Encase Leaking Low Pressure Boiler

(OP)
Hi Guys,

I am looking for a high temperature resin with good adhesive properties that can withstand up to 600oF to temporarily encase the leaking section(s) of cast iron boilers so that a high quality replacement procedure can be implemented. Right now, whenever a cast iron boiler breaks down, we're spending many thousands to hire anyone who is immediately available to dismantle and replace the defective sections with minimum down time. Invariably, this results in poor quality work that is short lived.

Thanks.

RE: High Temperature Resin to Encase Leaking Low Pressure Boiler

It is highly unlikely that this type of solution will work. But, if anything could work it would be a bismaleimide (BMI) resin with a glass or carbon fiber fabric reinforcement as a patch. Pure resin would crack from the CTE (thermal expansion) mismatch.
