The application was carried out in accordance with Belzona Know-How System Leaflets CEP-1 and CEP-3. Pump was blasted and repaired with Belzona 1111 prior to being coated with Belzona 1341.
Belzona Facts
The cost of the coating was less than half of the cost of a new pump and the repair was completed in two days. Replacement with a new pump would have taken 4 weeks, which would have eliminated the use of the Fire truck. Additionally, the coated pump was more efficient than a new pump.
