Methods and systems for cleaning, coating and sealing leaks in existing pipes, in a single operation. A piping system can be cleaned in one pass by dry particulates forced and pulled by air throughout the piping system by a generator and a vacuum. Pipes can be protected from water corrosion, erosion and electrolysis, extending the life of pipes such as copper, steel, lead, brass, cast iron piping and composite materials. Coatings can be applied to pipes having diameters up to approximately 6″. Leak sealants of at least approximately 4 mils thick can cover insides of pipes, and can include novel mixtures of fillers and epoxy materials, and viscosity levels. A positive pressure can be maintained within the pipes during applications. Piping systems can be returned to service within approximately 96 hours.

A method for applying a waterproof coating to a transducer component includes the steps of cleaning and promoting bonding on the transducer component by immersing the component in a mixture of isopropyl alcohol, deionized water, and siline. The component is then air dried and rinsed in pure isopropyl alcohol. After drying, the component is vacuum baked and subjected to a vacuum for twelve hours. A parylene coating is provided to the component surface. The parylene coating is abraded, and the surface is rinsed with pure isopropyl alcohol. After drying, polyurethane is provided on the abraded parylene surface. The polyurethane is cured to form a waterproof coating on the transducer component. In further embodiments, a second parylene coating can be provided outside the polyurethane.
