FEATURED PRODUCT
A leaking or damaged pipe can instantly lead to costly water damage, production downtime, and operational disruption. Rapp-it Pipe Repair Bandage—supplied by Waldan International Pte Ltd—delivers a rapid, high-strength solution for emergency repairs across Singapore and regional markets.
Rapp-it is a self-contained repair system combining a steel-reinforced epoxy putty with a water-activated polyurethane resin bandage. It hardens within minutes to create a durable, pressure-resistant seal over pinholes, cracks, and corroded pipework—requiring zero specialist tools or hot work permits.
Engineered for versatility, Rapp-it bonds effectively to steel, copper, PVC, poly pipe, fibreglass, and cast iron. It is the trusted choice for facility maintenance teams across marine, offshore, manufacturing, commercial, and hospitality sectors.
Water-activated repair bandage — resin-saturated fibreglass tape supplied
Rapp-it Steel Putty — epoxy putty stick to seal the leak point before wrapping.
Protective gloves & instructions — everything needed for a single emergency repair.
SIMPLE TO APPLY
Shut down the line, glove up, then clean and roughen the damaged area with a file or wire brush.
Knead the Steel Putty to a uniform grey and press it firmly into the damage. Work within 2–5 minutes.
Soak the bandage in fresh 22–26°C water for 10–20 seconds, squeezing once or twice to activate.
Wrap around the damage, extending 50mm each side, pulling every layer tight for a strong repair.
With wet gloves, squeeze with a rotating motion until the resin stops foaming. Sets rock-hard in ~30 minutes.

PROVEN IN THE FIELD
Real Rapp-it repairs from mining, power generation, food processing and heavy industry —
where a fast repair meant no unplanned shutdown.
MINING — GOLD FACILITY, QLD
Steel100mmHydrochloric acid
“An outstanding product for all applications.”
HYDROELECTRIC POWER STATION, TAS
An overhead leak on a 100mm water main sat dangerously close to electrical conduits. Steel Putty plus 100mm × 4.8m bandages made it fully functional in 30 minutes — letting the team budget a planned replacement.
Steel116 psi180mm damage
“No leakage was detected upon return to service.”
FOOD & BEVERAGE — SUGAR MILL, QLD
An overhead leak in a corroded line threatened to halt production overnight. A 100mm × 9m bandage over Steel Putty had the line back at full capacity in 30 minutes. Over 94% of Australian sugar mills use Rapp-it.
Steel250mm150 psi
“We could keep our operations functional during the night.”
Leaking 1992-vintage cement stormwater pipes sat directly above a stage holding hundreds of thousands of dollars of lighting, electronics and costumes. A 50mm × 3.6m bandage sealed the leaks.
Cement100mm20mm damage
“Rapp-it has sealed the leaks so the show can go on.”
INDUSTRIAL HOSE — NICKEL PROCESSING
Abrasive nickel sludge damaged a material-handling hose that could not be welded or clamped. Twenty-three 100mm × 4.8m bandages wrapped the damaged area — running at full capacity 30 minutes later.
Rubber hose250mm0–45°C
“Rapp-it has sealed the leaks so the show can go on.”
GOLD PROCESSING PLANT — BODDINGTON, WA
Fine ore particles wore a hole in a pipe before the valve. Rather than shut down the gold plant, Steel Putty and a 100mm × 9m bandage repaired it in place until scheduled maintenance.
Steel250mm90°C
“We use your pipe repair product almost daily.”
Good to know
It bonds to a wide range of materials including steel, copper, PVC and concrete — covering most common industrial and utility pipework.
The resin typically sets within 15–30 minutes depending on ambient temperature, allowing a fast return to service.
Rapp-it is designed as a fast, dependable emergency and semi-permanent repair. For critical systems we recommend a planned permanent repair be scheduled.
No specialist tools are required — each kit contains everything needed for a single repair.
Rapp-it is designed as a temporary emergency repair, though many installations have lasted years as sound structural repairs. Whether it serves as a long-term fix is ultimately at the user’s discretion — for critical systems we recommend scheduling a planned permanent repair.
Rapp-it safely handles most (though not all) fluids and mediums — from potable (drinking) water through to sulphuric and hydrochloric acids and industrial slurries. Contact us if you’re unsure about a specific medium.
Rapp-it is designed as a temporary emergency repair, though many installations have lasted years as sound structural repairs. Whether it serves as a long-term fix is ultimately at the user’s discretion — for critical systems we recommend scheduling a planned permanent repair.
Apply a minimum of 10mm — roughly 12–15 wraps around the pipe — and extend the repair about 50mm either side of the damaged area.
Yes, the bandage can be used on its own, but we recommend pairing it with Rapp-it Steel Putty for a stronger, more reliable repair.
Yes. Isolating the line gives the best result, but where that isn’t possible, reduce the pressure as low as you can and apply Rapp-it to stem the flow until a permanent procedure can be carried out.
Yes — Rapp-it is well suited to wet applications. Clean and roughen the surface first to ensure a successful repair.
Yes, both the bandage and Steel Putty can be applied underwater in fresh or salt water. Cure time varies with water temperature — colder water slows curing, warmer water speeds it up.
Yes. The RAP304 (100mm × 9m) suits larger-diameter pipes and elbows, and multiple bandages can be used for very large pipes.
Yes. As Rapp-it is a temporary repair, we recommend recording the repair location in a job or location report so a permanent repair can be arranged later.
Cured Rapp-it can be removed with a hacksaw, angle grinder, or hammer and cold chisel. Always check the pipe’s contents first (some media are flammable), wear appropriate PPE, and use a respirator when grinding.
Rapp-it has a shelf life of about 2 years from purchase when stored below 25°C (77°F) with the foil pouch unpunctured.
