Problem: My customer at one of the largest and most profitable steel mills in the United States called asking if I have a coating to protect against hydrochloric acid in a high heat environment. I went onsite and noticed a lot of pitting and deterioration of concrete in the trench and secondary containment. It was in bad shape and they needed a solution.

Before photo: as you can see, there is severe pitting and errosion, corrossion and chemical attacks. The concrete sees 18% Hydrochloric acid and temperatures up to 104 degrees fahrenheit.

After rebuilding the containment with Belzona 4911 and Belzona 4154, the trench was topped off with Belzona 4111 followed by Belzona 5811 to protect against corrosion then Belzona 4311/ 4981/4181 were used in steam out areas
