This is a unique application and has been undertaken by an experienced local coatings contractor for at least five years. Rollers are grit blasted and degreased, with Belzona 1341 applied as a two coat system in accordance with the IFU document. This application is also applied in accordance wth a modified version of Belzona System Leaflet SHM-12.
Belzona Facts
Several rollers were selected and a trial Belzona 1341 system was applied without any guarantee of success. On the contrary, the coating system proved a great success with significant financial savings by avoiding production hold ups and ease of cleaning the rollers.
