Coating Material
SINMAST
• SINMAST joining compound is used for
bonding cement lined piping components.
• Sinmast is a 2 component , solvent free
product based on Epoxy Resins
• Component A – Resin (0.945kg)
• Component B – Hardener (Ethylamine ,
Isopropylideendifenol) (0.055kg )
Prepared By V.Johnson Prabu
Coating material
• Component A
• Component B
Prepared By V.Johnson Prabu
Coating Material
Mixing
• Both component A & B mixed together
• To avoid wastage it can be divided into 10
parts and use it as required.
• The pot life of mixed component is 25min @
20o C approx. ( Working Time )
• The hardening time is 8hrs @ 20o C approx.

Coating Material
Mixing
• Component A
Total weight = 945 gm
1/10 part = 94.5 gm

Coating Material
Mixing
• Usually One full cap of the can is equal to 1/10
part. ( Measure it before mixing and conform)

Surface Preparation
• The mating steel surface shall be free from oil,
rust, burs and other foreign material.
Prepared By V.Johnson Prabu
Application
• Apply the mixed coating material gentily on
the sleeve side at an angle of 45o approx.
• Remove the excess material.
• The join the mating surface and apply slight
pressure. ( usually after joining you can find
3mm difference )

Joint Fit‐up
Prepared By V.Johnson Prabu
Joint Fit‐up
• Only tack weld the joint at three locations
• Remember : Joint shall be weld after 12 hrs
Prepared By V.Johnson Prabu
Welding
• Do not move the joint after fit up.
• Support the line adequately to restrict the
movement.
• After 12 hrs (ie; hardening time of coating
material ) the joint is ready for welding.
Prepared By V.Johnson Prabu
Welding
• Now the joint is ready for Further Testing
