Description
A 2-part epoxy based repair composite for rebuilding shallow pitting in metals damaged by erosion and corrosion. This solvent-free material is specifically formulated to easily fill in areas of metal loss up to 6 mm deep, quickly restoring large areas and avoiding hot work and plate welding. Belzona 1151 (Smoothing Metal) will not corrode and will resist a wide range of chemicals.
This repair composite is ideally suited to be overcoated with epoxy coatings such as Belzona 1321 (Ceramic S-Metal) for long-term protection against the effects of erosion, corrosion and chemical attack.
Key benefits:
- Multipurpose durable repair composite for rebuilding pitting and metal loss up to 6 mm deep
- Application and cure at room temperature – no hot work involved
- Excellent erosion and corrosion resistance
- Fast cure for rapid return to service
- Easy to mix and apply even on large areas
- Reduced health and safety risks as it is solvent-free
- No shrinkage, expansion or distortion
- Excellent adhesion to metals including stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminium, brass and copper
- Outstanding chemical resistance against a wide range of chemicals
- Excellent electrical insulation characteristics
Applications for Belzona 1151 (Smoothing Metal) include:
- Resurface of pitted metal surfaces in equipment such as process vessels, heat exchangers and pumps
- Repair of cracks and holes on engine and pump casings, pipes, tanks and other equipment
- Repair of damaged shafts and hydraulic rams
- In-situ flange repair
- High strength structural adhesive for metal bonding
- Creation of irregular load bearing shims and reforming of bearing housing
