Belzona Facts
Previous original Belzona application in 2006 is still in perfect condition (10 years later) and as a result customer approved Belzona 3111 system for the protection of other railway carriages. Conventional alternative paints and systems did not offer the same performance as Belzona 3111 and is currently customer's choice to protect the roofs and avoid costly replacement.
