Application Situation

Pharma manufacturers are using agressive chemicals as raw material. A part of the process sees the handling of liquids in ionization chambers. Rubber is commonly used as a chemical resistant lining and its flexibility is also good to resist dilatation caused by the rapid temperature changes. Rubber linings can be easily repaired using Belzona Elastomers without the need of special tools or heat input.

Application Method

Damaged rubber lining has been removed and MBX was used to abrade the surface. Loosen rubber parts were cut off and 2111 was used to replace missing parts and 2121 was used to provide a long term and chemical resistant solution.

Belzona Facts

To reline the rubber would be a huge cost as vessel has to be remove from the sterile area. Belzona products were applied without the need of dusty blasting.
