Application Situation

Water pipe on a cooling tower.

Application Method

The pipe was manually prepared using an MBX and degreased with Belzona 9111. The pipe was then consolidated using Belzona 1111 and 9341 (3 passes). Belzona 1321 was finally used on top of the repair to avoid any porosity and give a good smooth finish.

Belzona Facts

The customer tried a different alternative on this pipe but it lasted for less than 2 months. Replacing the pipe would have been really expensive and would require the purge of the whole system. This solution was quick and really efficient. After 2 years in service, the repair is still intact.
