Application Situation
Nitric acid loading area at a chemical plant.
Application Method
There was a General Contractor that would re-build the curbs and piers that were degraded. They have used Belzona in the past and the Belzona consultant also worked with them on the application. The substrate was thoroughly cleaned and allowed to dry. A coat of Belzona 4911 was first put down as the substrate was too porous due to the chemical attack and adhesion of Belzona 4311 system (2 coats) over the top was to be maximized.
