Description
A two-part zinc rich epoxy resin designed for the coating of metallic surfaces to provide corrosion protection. This solvent based material is ideal in marine and industrial environments where long-term corrosion resistance is required.
Belzona 6111 (Liquid Anode) is easy to mix and can be applied by brush or by spray without the need for specialist tools. It will cure at room temperature, eliminating the need for hot work.
Key benefits:
- Application and cure at room temperature – no hot work involved
- Can be sprayed for large application area
- Outstanding corrosion resistance by providing a cathodic protection as the system contains not less than 90% high purity zinc dust in the dry film
- Does not allow rust creep at damaged areas
- “Self-healing” properties
- Can be overcoated to increase chemical resistance using Belzona 5111 (Ceramic Cladding)
Applications for Belzona 6111 (Liquid Anode) include:
- Steel corrosion protection of structural surfaces such as bridges and handrails
- Long-term protection against external cathodic corrosion of pipes and storage tanks
- Protection and sealing of tank bases suffering from water ingress and external corrosion
