Belzona Facts
Existing patch materials needed to be reapplied a couple of times per year. When the existing patch material was removed, it came loose in large pieces, thus showing it had not bonded to the concrete substrate and still had a very strong chemical odor even after being applied months before. Upon opening and mixing Belzona 4111 for the repair, the customer remarked that there was no odor coming from the Belzona product. This customer is happy that they have a long-lasting solution that is easy for them to use. They will save money of repeat maintenance to the same damage.
