Overview
Belzona has the ability to effectively prevent unwanted leakage by containing a wide variety of harsh chemicals when you consider the following:
Cause
Containment areas are susceptible to deterioration through attack from chemicals such as sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid as well as mechanical or structural damage. Specific problem areas include chemical storage and demineralization due to the aggressive nature of the chemicals present. It is here where concrete floors and containment walls often suffer and rapidly fail.
Effect
If the deterioration is not addressed, the structural integrity of the concrete, or metal, will be seriously undermined with the potential for chemical leakage and possible complete structural failure. The result, if left untreated or instead underperforming alternatives are chosen, is environment fines and extended downtime that amount to insurmountable costs due to:
- Unplanned outage
- Environmental impact
- Clean up and disposal expense
- Safety hazards
Solution
By utilizing cold applied, polymeric repair compound as well as immersion grade coatings, concrete chemical containment structures can be rebuilt and protected to resist constant chemical attack. The result is prolonging the life of the underlying substrate and ultimately promoting peace of mind by avoiding altogether any undetected leaks that lead to hefty regulatory fines.
