All About Rapp-it

Rapp-it is an instant emergency pipe repair system that is simple to use with no mixing or measuring required. Rapp-it Pipe Repair Bandages have a woven fibreglass substrate impregnated with a water-activated polyurethane resin. In order to provide a strong, secure pipe repair, a 50mm (2”) stick of Rapp-it Steel Putty is included with every Rapp-it Pipe Repair Bandage.

Rapp-it's ability to perform effectively in emergency situations greatly reduces costly downtime and production loss. Because of the product's ease of use, it can be applied by practically any apprentice applicator, and should be made available to all maintenance staff within your industry.
