The application was carried out in accordance with Belzona Know-How System Leaflet SHM-8 for rebuilding worn pipe elbows. Belzona 1812 was selected as the appropriate Belzona material and applied to the wear areas of the elbow and the replaceable back, keeping within the designated wearing surface.

Belzona Facts
The wood chips used to produce the particleboard at the Ontario facility are recycled. The wood chips, fibers and particles are moved around the facility and processes by mechanical and pneumatic means. A change of direction in the pneumatic system such as an elbow creates a wear point in the system. A hardened weld overlay solution had previously only lasted four months. Thus, the Belzona solution was selected by the customer.
