Belzona® 9211 (Supergrip Aggregate) | | | Substrate:Steel | | | Application Method:The application was carried out in accordance with Belzona Know-How System Leaflet SHM-12. | | | Belzona Facts:These rolls are typically in service for 3-5 years depending on the particu-lar saw mill activity and type of lumber produced. Initially the aggregate will come off, but after a few minutes of operation, no more material will be removed from the rolls. | | | Photographs Description
