Rapp-it is a winner for emergency repairs of Gas leaks! says Exxon Mobil

When Exxon Mobil technicians in Malaysia noticed a sizeable leak (6”) in their gas line in February 2007, they contacted their local distributors to check whether Rapp-it Bandages were up to the task of repairing the leak site.

The amazing tight seal qualities of the Rapp-it Pipe Repair Bandage and Rapp-it Steel Putty were able to withstand 2500Kpa of pressure. The ease of applying Rapp-it ensured that the vital high production schedule of the Exxon Mobile offshore rig was able to continue almost without a hiccup.

Within hours of being contacted for technical advice as to whether Rapp-it Pipe Repair was up to the mammoth task, our technical staff had confirmed that Rapp-it could seal the dangerous and costly leak within a short space of time.

The quick teamwork between the technicians on the ground in Malaysia, as well as our officers at the head office averted a serious and potentially very dangerous gas leak from turning nasty. Without Rapp-it’s fast acting tight seal, the company was facing a wait of 4-5 days for a mechanical clamp to be manufactured and fitted to the pipe.

Instead of waiting up to a week to get repaired, the gasoline line was back in full operation within 24 hours. Rapp-it Pipe Repair saved the day again!
