Marine Equipment Repair and Protection with Belzona

Belzona's cold-applied metal and rubber repair composites and epoxy coatings offer key benefits, including:

• Superior erosion and corrosion protection
• Prolonged equipment lifespan
• Reduced replacement costs
• Minimized downtime
• Application and cure at room temperature, eliminating the need for hot work
• Fast cure, even below the waterline
• Exceptional chemical resistance
• High temperature and impact resistance
• Excellent bonding to various materials, including steel, stainless steel, bronze, copper, GRP, FRP, cast iron, and more

Repair and Protection of Marine Equipment and Structures

Belzona’s epoxy repair composites and coatings provide long-term erosion and corrosion resistance for a wide range of marine equipment operating in corrosive environments. From risers on oil platforms to jetties, Belzona products deliver reliable, durable protection.

Repairs to pressurized and safety-critical systems can be completed with Belzona SuperWrap II, a composite wrap that meets ISO 24817 and ASME PCC-2 standards. This high-strength system is ideal for pipes and vessels, repairing both thin- and through-wall defects without the need for hot work, and is suited for a variety of climates and service temperatures up to 150°C (302°F).

Belzona rubber repair composites, such as Belzona 2211 (MP Hi-Build Elastomer), offer impact resistance and repair for rubber-clad equipment and fenders, eliminating the need for vulcanization while maintaining strength. Additionally, Belzona provides cold plate bonding solutions for worn and corroded decks, offering a fast and safe alternative to replacement.

Repair and Protection of Propulsion and Steering Gear Systems

Marine propulsion systems often face severe corrosion, which can be halted using Belzona’s epoxy repair composites on equipment such as jet tubes, kort nozzles, and bow thrusters. Belzona 1121 (Super XL-Metal), Belzona 1111 (Super Metal), and Belzona 1321 (Ceramic S-Metal) are ideal for forming equipment like pintles, bearing housings, and bush seats due to their 100% solids formulation, preventing shrinkage.

For cavitation damage on rudders, stabilizers, and kort nozzles, Belzona 2141 (ACR-Fluid Elastomer) offers excellent protection. Cylinder liners affected by cavitation can be repaired without hot work using Belzona’s cold-curing materials like Belzona 1391.

For heavy equipment alignment or laying foundations, Belzona 7111, a 100% solids chocking/grouting material, is designed to withstand physical and thermal shock typical in marine environments.

Ancillary Equipment Protection

Belzona's metal repair composites are also widely used to repair corrosion and erosion on ancillary equipment such as heat exchangers, valves, and pumps. For maximum protection, Belzona offers a range of epoxy coatings that provide erosion, corrosion, chemical, and temperature resistance.

Belzona’s internal epoxy coatings for tank linings, whether hand- or spray-applied, allow large tanks to be quickly and effectively protected. Many coatings are approved for use in contact with potable water, making them ideal for a variety of marine applications.
