Composite Repair Services

Wenco has been directly licensed with HENKEL to sell expanded products in LOCTITE. Henkel operates worldwide with leading brands and technologies in three business units: Laundry & Home Care, Beauty Care and Adhesive Technologies. Founded in 1876, Henkel holds globally leading market positions, both in the consumer and in the industrial business, with well-known brands such as Persil, Schwarzkopf and Loctite. Henkel’s LOCTITE product has now also been certified in accordance with ISO 24817 and the US Standard ASME PCC-2 by the global inspection agencies TUV Rheinland and Lloyd’s Register. That makes the Loctite Composite Repair System from Henkel the only such system on the market to carry certifications from three leading inspection bodies at once: DNV GL, Lloyd’s Register and TUV Rheinland.

The tested and proven technology can be used for all repair classes and all defect types, whether through wall or non-through wall. In complex test procedures spanning a period of three years, performance of the system was tested under the supervision of the certification bodies for scenarios covering various defect types, pipeline components, materials, load cases and application methods, and its use was approved for industrial, marine and offshore applications.

The LOCTITE Composite Repair System comprises materials for surface preparation, reinforcement, sealing and a topcoat. The heart of the repair system is a composite material made of a glass-carbon fiber tape and epoxy resin that was purpose developed for these applications. In steel pipelines the composite repair system reinforces damaged pipe sections and seals them while also protecting them against recurring corrosion. In addition to certified safety, the system offers real economic benefits, since it eliminates the need to replace piping components. Corroded pipes can be repaired in situ, without any interruption in operations. This bridges the time until the next planned overhaul but can also extend the overall lifetime of the pipeline by up to 20 years.

Specialized Pipe Supports

Wenco has been directly licensed with ANVIL International to sell expanded products in ANVIL. Anvil Pipe Hangers and Supports are manufactured in three primary U.S. locations: North Kingstown, Rhode Island’ Henderson, Tennessee and Columbia, Pennsylvania, each with its own unique capabilities.

Anvil offers 3 basic forms to zinc coating on its hanger components as given below:

Electro-Plated Zinc (ASTM B633)

This type of coating is recommended for use indoors in relatively dry areas. The steel is submersed in a bath of zinc salts, through the process of electrolysis, is a coating of pure zinc adheres to the steel with a molecular bond. A maximum of .2 mills of zinc can be applied using this method. The threaded components and fasteners for Anvil hangers are furnished electroplated.

Pre-Galvanized Zinc (ASTM B653)

This type of coating is suitable for extended exposure in dry or mildly corrosive atmospheres, but not generally recommended for use outdoors in industrial environments. Also known as “mill galvanized” or “hot-dipped mill galvanized”. Pre-galvanized zinc coatings are produced by rolling the steel coils or sheets through molten zinc at the steel mill. The material is then cut or slit to size. Coating thickness is 90 ounces per square foot of steel surface. Zinc near the uncoated edges or weld areas becomes a sacrificial anode which protects the bare areas. Anvil uses this type of material on our shields and swivel ring hangers.

Hot-Dip Galvanized (ASTM 123)

Recommended for prolonged outdoor exposure and will usually protect steel in most atmospheric environments. After fabrication, the part is immersed in a bath of molten zinc. A metallurgical bond is formed, resulting in a zinc coating that coats all surfaces including edges.
