Project Description – Fire pump repair off a fire fighting tug boat using Belzona 1121 (Super XL-Metal) and Belzona 1321 (Ceramic S-Metal)
Application - Fire pump repair off a fire fighting tug boat.
Industry - Marine
Contractor – Creative Maintenance Solutions, LLC
Problem - Pump was corroded and leaking. It was recommended to use Belzona 1121 and Belzona 1321 to incorporate a long-term repair solutions instead of purchasing a new fire pump.
Solution - Clean and mechanically prepare the pump then applied the Belzona 1121 and Belzona 1321 to coat and seal the pump housing.
Product Applied - Belzona 1121 (SUPER XL-METAL) and Belzona 1321 (Ceramic S-Metal)
Product Detail – Belzona 1121 (SUPER XL-METAL) is a 2-part repair composite for metal repair and resurfacing based on solvent free epoxy resin reinforced with silicon steel alloy. This repair material has been developed to offer an extended working life, ideal for large applications where greater volumes of material are required or to provide adequate working time at higher temperatures. Belzona 1121 (Super XL-Metal) will not corrode and resists a wide range of chemicals. It is easy to mix and apply without the need of specialist tools and can be machined using conventional tools.
Belzona 1321 (Ceramic S-Metal) is a 2-part ceramic filled epoxy coating designed to provide erosion and corrosion resistance of metal surfaces. This solvent free epoxy coating has outstanding chemical resistance and will bond to almost any rigid surface. Due to its high compressive strength it can be also used to create a perfect shim. This material is easy to mix and apply without the need for specialist tools and it cures at room temperature eliminating the need for hot work.
