Belzona Facts
Without the Belzona, this equipment lasted less than 500 hours, one year’s season (spring to fall). With Belzona® 1812 as a coating, inspection showed very small wear and was useable another season after some touch up. In some areas, impact was more severe and the use of Belzona® 2111 resulted in no wear after 500 hours.
