Belzona epoxy-based metal repair composites, coatings and linings for the repair and protection of equipment common in the petrochemical industry.
The petrochemical industry is regularly faced with problems such as erosion, corrosion, chemical attack, wear, abrasion and mechanical damage which cause deterioration of infrastructure and equipment over time. Rather than replacing these assets, engineers and plant managers are using Belzona’s epoxy-based metal repair composites, high temperature coatings and linings for reliable, long-lasting maintenance solutions.
Belzona’s solvent-free materials offer solutions for the toughest environments and can be applied in situ to reduce downtime and labor costs, eliminating the need to replace equipment.
Deterioration of Pipework
Corroded and eroded pipework—especially from CUI—can lead to leaks and costly downtime. Belzona offers fast, in-situ repair solutions like Belzona 1212, ideal for wet, oily, or underwater surfaces, and SuperWrap II to restore strength and resist corrosion up to 150°C. For high-temp protection, Belzona 5851 shields against further wall loss. Need insulation protection? Belzona 3211 is fire-resistant and UV-stable. Even deteriorated pipe supports can be rebuilt with Belzona’s cold-applied composites—no welding needed!
Corrosion Protection for Process Vessels
Absorber towers and strippers face tough corrosion challenges—but Belzona has them covered. High-temp linings like Belzona 1391T offer proven protection against MEA, MDEA, sulfanol, and more. These solvent-free epoxies resist chemical attack, explosive decompression, and even cure in service—keeping downtime to a minimum.
Storage Tank and Secondary Containment Area Repair and Protection
Belzona offers fast, cold-applied repair solutions for damaged storage tanks—no hot work needed. Products like Belzona 1212 handle emergency leak sealing and metal bonding, while Belzona 3111 seals tank bases with a breathable membrane to stop water ingress. For chemical protection, Belzona 4111 and 4131 repair containment areas, and Belzona 4311 provides long-lasting resistance to harsh chemicals—even at high temps and concentrations.
Repair Composites and Coatings for Heat Exchangers
Belzona provides a variety of solvent-free metal repair composites and epoxy coatings for repair and protection of heat exchangers damaged by erosion and corrosion on areas such as tube sheets, water boxes, division bars and end covers.
Our cold-curing epoxy products allow for rapid, in-situ application, minimizing downtime whilst providing long-term erosion and corrosion protection. Belzona materials are excellent electrical insulators, which enables them to prevent galvanic corrosion by isolating the dissimilar metals used in heat exchangers.
Our repair composites, high temperature coatings and linings are suitable for other areas including:
✓ Pump repair and protection
✓ Insulation protection
✓ Repair and restoration of valves, including seats, seals and casings
✓ Conveyor belts and other rubber repairs
✓ Protective coatings and repair compounds for floors
✓ Anti-seize for mating compounds
