Many industries use welding for structural joining, often, a water tight seal of the welded joint is not a requirement.\u00a0 In other industries such as fire protection, a complete seal of a weld is critical to ensure a leak free sprinkler system.<\/p>\n

Weld porosity leaks can be very small and difficult to detect without pressurizing a system.\u00a0 These micro porosities can go undetected for long periods of time.\u00a0 The pin-prick leaks can be so small that they appear to be condensation on the pipes.\u00a0 These leaks can cause ceiling damage and offer mildew and mold a fantastic opportunity to proliferate.\u00a0 Other leaks can drip only once the system is pressurized, causing damage to ceilings, floors, furnishings and personal property.<\/p>\n

Anaerobic<\/a> weld sealants<\/b> are very low viscosity, wicking grade sealants that fill all voids or imperfections and cure to form a permanent plastic seal that prevents potential leaks.\u00a0 The absence of air and the presence of metal initiates curing which begins to occur when the sealant wicks into the imperfections.<\/p>\n

To use, heat up the weld (with a hot air gun or even just a hairdryer.) Then apply the adhesive with a brush, swab, or rag and allow the sealant to wick into any voids. As the metal cools down and contracts, the weld sealant will be drawn in and cured inside the microscopic pores.<\/p>\n

The risk of a leaky system greatly outweighs the efforts to protect every weld.\u00a0 Using a weld sealant is less costly than pressurizing a system to detect the porosity leaks and provides the added protection of corrosion prevention.<\/p>\n

Experienced fire protection professionals agree, Don\u2019t risk it \u2013 wick it!<\/p>\n
