Application Situation

The customer was evaluating a costly replacement of a valve assembly . By selecting the Belzona solution, they avoided extended downtime and significant capital expenditure. The application was performed at the local Belzona Workshop , restoring structural integrity and providing long-term corrosion protection at a fraction of the cost of replacement.

Application Method

The internal surfaces were abrasive blasted to obtain a clean and rough surface with an anchor profile of approximately 3 mils. A chloride contamination test was performed after blasting to confirm surface suitability. Degreasing was then carried out using Belzona 9111. Areas with visible metal loss or damage were rebuilt using Belzona 1111 (Super Metal). After the rebuilding process, Belzona 1321 (Ceramic S-Metal) was applied in two coats, grey followed by blue, to ensure full coverage and long-term corrosion.
