Leading protective coating and polymer repair composite solution provider Belzona Polymerics demonstrated the outstanding performance of their structural adhesives with a powerful display of faith on the 29th January 2010.
Belzona has developed a range of unique products which offer unparalleled performance as protective coatings, repair composites and structural adhesives. The Belzona solutions differentiate themselves significantly from conventional methods with major benefits of the Heat Activated Series being their application to hot surfaces up to 150˚C – even whilst equipment is still in service, avoiding the need for outage which can ultimately lead to lost production costs. Furthermore, these products have been designed to be applied with minimal preparation and are tolerant of surfaces contaminated by water or oil.
During the 2010 Belzona Europe and Africa Conference held at the Harrogate Technology Centre Belzona demonstrated the adhesive properties of Belzona 1251 Heat Activated Products by suspending a Mercedes SL500 AMG above a Mercedes S320 LCDI. The Belzona 1251 Heat Activated Metal was applied to a connecting joint only 75mm in diameter and cured immediately prior to the lift. With the Mercedes SL 500 AMG weighing over 2.2 tonnes and a minimal amount of adhesive it demonstrated that the Belzona 1251 Heat Activated Metal was able to carry over 1.8 million times its own weight! Further testing carried out by Belzona’s USA and UK laboratories demonstrated the product could actually lift over 20 tonnes in this configuration.
Belzona’s six identical 2010 Global Conferences allow Belzona Distributors and Service Partners to share experiences and be updated on the latest developments in both product technology and application solutions. During the meetings, delegates learnt of the background to the products and the testing which has been carried out to verify the products suitability. Belzona takes a truly global approach to problem solving with R&D, Testing and Technical Service Laboratories in the USA, Europe and Asia working in conjunction with their Distributors and Service Partners to deliver solutions for industry.
Delegates also learnt that the Belzona Heat Activated Series had applications other than for lifting expensive cars, such as corrosion and structural reinforcement for steam systems and hot process equipment in a variety of industries including Power Generation, Paper Manufacturing, Food, Drink and Petrochemical.
