GoodWill Retails (P) Ltd. has brought to India what it calls a ‘revolutionary product related to repairs and maintenance of the pipeline, plumbing, manufacturing, oil refinery, pumps, valves and construction industry'. The product is called Fiberfix.
Leaks & breaks hurt
Dealing with chemicals often causes leaks and breaks in pipelines, hardware tools and equipments, cement pipes, machinery pipes etc on construction sites, industrial factories, residential and commercial buildings and various other sectors. Fixing these repairs can take hours and sometimes even days. There is a significant loss of production during this time.
But, the Company claims that with the help of FiberFix these repairs can be dealt within 20-30 mins. Duct Tape, jubilee clips and clamps fixes everything right? Not quite. Have you ever tried to patch a water line, repair a load-bearing steel bar, or fix the broken handle on a shovel with tape? Your results will be far less than stellar, it claims.
Why its better
"The vast majority of adhesives on the market are only designed for cosmetic or minor repairs. They certainly aren't designed to deal with heavy forces. If you do need to repair something that's submerged in water or needs to hold weight, you have to resort to an epoxy or other heavy duty adhesive. These products are messy and take 24 hours or more to dry," says Harsh Jain, Director, GoodWill Retails.
"FiberFix a revolutionary product to deal with a number of problems. It can fix an array of problems ranging from fixing pipes to broken hardware. As the name suggests, FiberFix uses industrial grade fibre and resin to repair and fix products from mixed media that will bond to almost anything, hardens like steel, and provides a permanent fix. It is also more than a 100x stronger than duct tape. Using FiberFix, consumers can fix things that either could not be fixed before or could not be fixed inexpensively," Jain says.
