Application Situation
Chain plate casings on a new luxury yacht under construction
Application Method
Application was carried out in accordance with Belzona Know-How Sysystem Leaflet GSS-4. As the application was partly vertical, tape was used to create a dam to enable the Belzona Elastomer to be poured into place.
Belzona Facts
It was not possible to change the design of the chain plate location into the superstructure so the Belzona solution was the only option available to ensure this location remained watertight.
