“In no time, the pipe was repaired thanks to Syntho-Glass.”

When a pipeline breaks, you risk your business operations coming to a halt for a long time. Precious time is lost while waiting for an external technician. In a running business, quick action is essential. There is a faster solution! Syntho-Glass enables you to act immediately and repair the pipeline yourself. And our customers can attest that it works well. We’ll share their experiences with Syntho-Glass.
Fast, Cost-saving, and Less Emission
One of our customers, active in the steel industry, faces large losses when they have to wait a long time for a pipeline repair. The value of a quick repair is therefore high, and they were immediately enthusiastic about Syntho-Glass’s effectiveness. “The pipeline was repaired in no time thanks to Syntho-Glass. We were only out of operation for a few hours, which saved costs and also reduced emissions,” said the steel manufacturer. Imbema collaborates with HSOS to supply Syntho-Glass. Customers can apply it themselves after proper training, or they can also call on HSOS for help. “When a customer calls, we often jump in the car right away so the plant is running again within a few hours. Syntho-Glass is easy to apply and cures within half an hour, making the repair quick,” said Henk Kapteijn, location manager at HSOS.Pipelines as Good as New
Syntho-Glass is a fiberglass-reinforced cloth impregnated with water-activated epoxy that is wrapped around the pipeline. Once cured, the material is as strong as the original pipe. Looking at previous Syntho-Glass repairs, the pipelines still look as good as new after several years. The material withstands many conditions such as water, chemicals, and high temperatures. Additionally, Syntho-Glass is safe to use and does not emit harmful chemicals. When employees apply Syntho-Glass themselves, they face no danger. “We only need a pair of gloves and standard protective clothing, so we can solve the problem quickly,” said one of our customers.Helping Everyone
We have helped many industries with Syntho-Glass: from swimming pools and hospitals to large ships. Henk: “Recently, we did a repair on a superyacht, and we regularly carry out work in the Botlek area. These are great jobs! We train technicians so they can apply Syntho-Glass themselves, but we are also happy to take this off their hands.”Want to know more about how Syntho-Glass works?
