Corrosion of metal surfaces caused by exposure to hot aqueous solutions is a common problem faced by many industries. Although the correct choice of metal at the outset could alleviate many of these problems, the fact is plant and equipment is often used in situations not originally intended or anticipated.
The ever increasing demand for higher production rates, greater throughput and time savings often sees plant operating temperatures raised in an effort to speed up processes. Whatever the reason, there is an increasing demand for in-situ applied coatings for corrosion protection from hot aqueous and/or hydrocarbon solutions.
Belzona® 5891 fills an important niche in the marketplace for an easily applied corrosion resistant coating suitable for operation at temperatures up to 90°C (194°F).
