PRODUCT NEWS Ecoseal Ecoseal is approved to Gas Industry Standard (GIS) Leakage Control (LC) 25. It is the only product on the market to have achieved the specification set out in GIS LC25. The specification sets out the requirements for flexible joint penetrating sealant repair systems for external application to ferrous distribution pipes with either lead/yarn or mechanical type joints. The maximum operating pressure must be equal to or less than 2 bar, in areas where pipe movement might be experienced. There are three viscosities of Ecoseal, thick, thin and ultra-thin. Each variety is designed to repair a different leaking, corroded or damaged joint. This includes mechanical, lead yarn and tightly packed joints. Ecoseal is a two-part Polyurethane resin. This means a chemical reaction takes place when the two parts meet and combine. The process is user and environmentally friendly as no toxic fumes or chemicals are released. Ecoseal provides an alternative to encapsulation repair systems. It is time-saving and cost- saving because it eliminates the need for site assessments and measuring for encapsulation muffs. It provides an option to inject through the socket or directly through the lead joint face. Ecoseal can be used on spigots, mechanical joints, socket joints, and valves. It can be used on a range of pipes up to 2 bar pressure.
