Repairs in oily, damp areas
May 1st 2008 Belzona Polymerics, manufacturer
of industrial protective coatings
and polymer repair composites has
launched a repair solution for
applications in oily, damp conditions.
The company says repairs
normally considered impossible
due to oil contamination or surface
moisture can now effectively be
carried out using the new
composite. Belzona 1831 (Super
UW-Metal) is capable of bonding
strongly to oily, wet and manually
prepared metal substrates and has
proved particularly successful
within the power industry.
A UK electricity distribution
company faced potentially high
cost repairs due to oil leakage from
transformer pipework. Belzona 1831
was applied directly to the leaking
pipework, displacing oil and
bonding aggressively to the
contaminated surface. To provide
long term protection, the pipework
was encapsulated in a standard
Belzona material – all in less than 2h. More articles from Belzona Polymerics Limited: |
