FixNow®
Rapid-Response Leak Arrest for Emergency Pipeline Maintenance.
FixNow® is a rapid-response solution for pipeline leak control, engineered to arrest localized defects and minimize fluid loss while a permanent repair is planned and executed. The system creates an immediate seal and a high-strength containment wrap over the damaged area, enabling fast and controlled field installation to temporarily restore asset operability without the need for complex, time-consuming repair processes.
The system integrates:
- FixNow Putty®: A fast-curing epoxy putty used to seal the leak and level the defect
- FixNow Wrap GFR®: A water-activated, pre-impregnated fiberglass wrap that forms a high-strength containment layer around the pipeline.
Applications
- Pressurized pipelines operating at up to 400 psi.
- Maximum operating temperature: 248 °F (120 °C)
- Emergency sealing of straight pipe, elbows, tees, and weld zones.
- Localized through-wall defects (up to 0.6 in / 15 mm).
- Emergency maintenance scenarios in Oil & Gas and industrial piping systems
Key Benefits
- On-stream installation: No shutdowns or full depressurization required.
- Fast-curing technology allows for operational recovery in less than 30 minutes.
- Water-activated wrap eliminates the need for complex on-site mixing or measuring.
- Minimal surface preparation (hand-tool cleaning); compatible with surfaces affected by localized corrosion.
- Standardized application methodology for consistent field performance
- Provides critical time to plan permanent, code-compliant repairs without immediate loss of production.

Technical note:
FixNow® is a temporary solution. It does not restore the structural integrity of the component and is not a substitute for a permanent repair designed in accordance with applicable integrity codes. Its function is to safely contain leaks, stabilize the asset, and bridge the operational gap until a permanent, code-compliant repair is implemented.
