Belzona Facts
The customer had tried to apply Silicone under the crack but it had failed within a month. This Belzona solution was designed to be a temporary solution to last 3 months until the plant was shut down when a weld repair could be carried out. The customer was very pleased with the outcome and the costs which were saved through not having to shut the plant down earlier then planned.
