Belzona 4181 (AHR Magma-Quartz)


Problem: The historic flooring had insufficient gradient for the chemicals to lead into the channels therefore the chemicals were pooling on the floor close to the channel, the old channels had weld seams which was causing leaks. This year the client needed to repair the drain-channels in the process basement and the distillery. There were two different problems. Problem One: The old factory (to be taken out of production in a couple of years), the flooring around the channel was deteriorated and uneven, and caused chemical waste to be lying still, without running down in the channel for transportation to the waste treatment process. Problem Two: The distillery area, waste channels needed a coating, due to weld seams that had cracking. The client requested the bottom of the whole channel to be coated, and also the sides.
