Application Situation
Internal surface of a scrubber had become damaged in service

The substrate was first grit blasted to take off the damaged parts of the ebonite coating and roughen the surface of the steel. Then, the junctions between the ebonite coating (still in good condition) and the steel were chamfered with Belzona 1511. Finally, the whole area was protected with Belzona 1391T. This application has been conducted according to Belzona system Leaflet TCC-5.
