Maintaining a hygienic and efficient working environment is one of the greatest challenges in the food and drink industry. With this in mind, Belzona has developed a range of high performance polymer repair composites and protective coatings which help to reduce energy consumption and increase the longevity of plant, equipment and machinery.
Belzona materials are designed to meet the challenges of this industry by curing quickly without odour, minimising downtime, labour and equipment replacement costs. Furthermore, the vast majority of our products are solvent free and many of them meet national and international standards for drinking water and food contact (NSF, WRAS, and USDA).
TYPICAL PROBLEMS
Typical problems in potable water tanks include: corrosion, pitting, sediment build up and as a result, holes.
POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS
Belzona offer a number of metal rebuild products for holes and pitting. In addition, Belzona 5812DW offers a coating system for the protection of metallic and non metallic surfaces operating under immersion conditions in contact with water and other aquaeous solutions. Belzona 5812DW is approved by NSF for the applications in contact with drinking water.
TYPICAL PROBLEMS
Erosion-corrosion and chemical attack related to the use of water filtration chemicals: chlorine, charcoal, water softeners on pipes, pipework, pumps, filtration systems and storage tanks.
POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS
Belzona 1000 and 5000 Series 100% solids paste- and fluid-grade materials for metal rebuild and corrosion protection of (non) potable water pipes, pipework and storage tanks.
TYPICAL PROBLEMS
For process equipment, typical problems include: erosion-corrosion and chemical attack related to the use of water filtration chemicals.
POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS
Critical process equipment can be repaired and protected using Belzona’s solvent-free metal repair composites and protective coatings which will not only rebuild components to their original profile, but also will eliminate galvanic corrosion.
TYPICAL PROBLEMS
Typical problems in facilities maintenance areas include: weathering damage of concrete structures, slippery transit areas, roof damage and expansion joint failures.
POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS
Belzona 2000, 3000, 4000, and 5000 Series paste- and fluid-grade materials for waterproofing, concrete rebuilding, expansion joint repairs, and floor slip resistance.
Repair composites and protective coatings increase the longevity of food and drink assets.
