Application Situation
A repair to a carbon steel boat hull using Belzona SuperWrap II patch repairs, plus a  further coating of Belzona 1321.
Application Method
The application was carried out in accordance with a modified version of Belzona System Leaflet SOS-2. Once the areas that required repair were established and prepared via abrasive blasting, a patch repair manufactured using the Belzona SuperWrap II system, was then applied before being overcoated by Belzona 1321 (Ceramic S-Metal).

The asset owner was extremely happy that the Belzona solution provides oustanding corrosion protection without the need of hot work, increasing the ease of application.
