Belzona Facts
There have been several trials with alternative products, however, Belzona® 3211 is so far the preffered option. Main reason for this is the first sphere coated with the system has given 11 years service thus far, with no requirement for renewal. So far five spheres coated and further spheres planned to be coated in 2009.
