T
he manufacturer of polymer repair composites and industrial protective coatings Belzona has
recently launched Belzona 5815, a new solvent-free containment grade coating with enhanced flexibility specifically developed for the protection of secondary containment areas. Concrete is commonly used to build secondary chemical containment areas and bunds that need to retain spilled chemicals and facilitate product recovery. However, it is susceptible to physical and chemical damage due to its porosity and other damages caused by cracking and reinforcing bar corrosion.

Belzona 5815 allows to solve these issues, as it has high tensile and flexural strength and can resist pressure up to 2,430 psi, allowing to bridge cracks. In addition to this, the newly developed coating is able to endure temperatures ranging from -40 °C up to 160 °C and it is particularly easy to mix and apply by brush, roller, squeegee or airless spray system, since it does not require surface conditioner. “Belzona 5815 is an economical solution to secondary containment areas holding non-aggressive chemicals. It has undergone testing to prove that the product can resist a range of dilute acids, alkalis, fuels, and oils. Moreover, it can bridge cracks in concrete up to an extent and has great adhesion to non-metallic
