Application Situation
Leaking condensate return tank
Application Method
Application was carried out using a modified Belzona Know-How System Leaflet TCC-1. The tank was lifted for access and mechanically prepared with the MBX Bristle Blaster. A heavy gauge steel plate was fabricated and bonded into place with Belzona® 4181. Belzona® 1311 was then used to reinforce the tank ends.
