Fuel Tank Repair Kits

Tech-Bond repair kits are compatible with metal tanks, HDPE, PVC, PTFE-lined tanks, and other polymer-based containment vessels. The Tech Patch and Tech Wrap Kits cover metal and PVC, while the Deluxe and Professional Kits extend compatibility to PTFE, HDPE, Delrin, rubber, and composites.

Repairs made using Tech-Bond's Polymer Bonding Process are engineered to be stronger than the original substrate. The molecular cross-linking mechanism — validated by ASTM testing — creates a permanent bond that resists fuel chemicals, pressure, and temperature variation, eliminating the need for tank replacement in most scenarios.

The SI Green ultra-thin viscosity bonding agent, available in the Starter, Basic, Deluxe, and Professional Kits, is specifically formulated for hairline crack repair. Its ultra-thin formula penetrates micro-fractures to create a complete molecular bond within the crack before it can propagate further.

Yes, surface preparation is critical — especially on polymer tanks. Poly Prep, Tech-Bond's adhesion promoter, etches low-surface-energy materials like HDPE, PTFE, nylon, and polypropylene to create the texture required for a strong permanent bond. Skipping this step significantly reduces bond strength on difficult substrates.

Yes. The Professional Kit and Tech Patch & Wrap Kits are built for industrial environments. The TPRS system was field-proven by successfully repairing cracked 78-inch HDPE pipe for Borouge in Abu Dhabi. Kits include activators and fillers designed to handle pressure, heat, and chemical exposure in demanding operational settings.

Shelf life is maximized by storing kits in a refrigerator, as recommended across all bonding agent variants (SI Blue, SI Black, and SI Green). Before use, bring the bonding agent to room temperature. Proper refrigerated storage ensures the chemical formulation remains effective and ready for emergency or scheduled repair applications.
