Belzona Polymerics has announced the launch of a new product, Belzona 1818, specially formulated for emergency patch repairs in highly abrasive environments typically found in industries such as mining, cement, pulp and paper, biomass, where equipment is commonly exposed to extensive erosion and abrasion from excavated or processed materials of varying type, size and shape.
This product is the newest addition to the highly erosion resistant 1800 series product range and bridges the gap between surface tolerance, fast cure and high abrasion resistance. According to the company, the fast curing properties means minimal downtime for damaged equipment, so much so that the product can experience full mechanical loading and heavy abrasion just two hours after application, depending on cure temperatures. The product is supplied in convenient 1kg units where base and solidifier can be easily mixed and applied, and it offers a good working life (16 minutes at 20 C, whilst still offering fast cure and a rapid return to service.
Belzona 1818 is user friendly and can applied without the need for hot work or specialist tools. In addition, it is formulated without solvents and is free from CMR classification and labelling, whilst maintaining cure speed and performance to give a durable and long-lasting repair, concluded the company.
