Application Situation
A premises-wide ban on welding had been put into place at this large distribution center, mainly due to the fumes, environmental and personal damage that the welding process could manifest. An alternative needed to be identified and Belzona was asked to trial the solution

All areas were prepared using a mechanical grinder with cutting discs and flap discs
Belzona 9111 was used to clean and degrease the target areas' Belzona 9341 was used to reinforce the repair
