Epoxy systems, recognized by their distinctive odor, were developed in the 1970s and became an almost universal solution for emergency repairs. These epoxy systems were successful in reducing maintenance budgets and in keeping the wheels of industry turning, in spite of their distinctive pungent odor, “in-can” skinning problems and limited resistance to water immersion.
But now, new technology has been used to develop an emergency repair material for the 1990s and beyond. Belzona® 1221 is a breakthrough polymer-based system which provides a superior alternative to conventional repair compounds. Based on technology that was previously available only to the aerospace industry and those at the forefront of motor vehicle design, Belzona® 1221 combines outstanding performance, better adhesion, greater resistance to heat and moisture, and no objectionable odors.
With reduced downtime, and a broader range of applications, Belzona® 1221 surpasses all other emergency repair solutions.
