Belzona Facts
The Belzona® 4181 leveled out all the peaks and troughs and it offers excellent impact resistance should any of the steel channel plates be dislocated and dropped during maintenance. Belzona® 4181 was the best solution because the channel is frequently exposed to sulfuric acid above ambient temperatures.
