Belzona 1111 (Super Metal)

Belzona 1111 (Super Metal) is a versatile, high-performance composite material designed for repairing, rebuilding, and protecting metal surfaces. This two-part epoxy-based system combines excellent mechanical strength with exceptional adhesion, making it ideal for industrial maintenance and repair applications.

Key Features

1. High Strength and Durability:
   • Offers outstanding resistance to wear, impact, and chemical attack.
2. Versatile Application:
   • Can be used for bonding, rebuilding, and resurfacing metal components.
3. Exceptional Adhesion:
   • Bonds strongly to various substrates, including steel, aluminum, brass, and more.
4. Temperature Resistance:
   • Withstands temperatures up to 120°C (248°F) in continuous service and 150°C (302°F) in intermittent service.
5. Non-Shrinking:
   • Maintains dimensional stability during curing.
6. Machinable:
   • Once cured, it can be drilled, tapped, or machined for precise finishing.

Applications

• Metal Repairs:
  • Fix cracks, holes, and wear damage on machinery, pipes, and equipment.
• Rebuilding Components:
  • Restore damaged pump casings, valve bodies, flanges, and more.
• Corrosion Protection:
  • Create a protective layer to shield surfaces from chemical and environmental corrosion.
• Bonding and Sealing:
  • Ideal for bonding metal parts and sealing leaks in tanks and pipes.

How to Use

1. Surface Preparation:
   • Clean and roughen the surface to ensure proper adhesion. Remove oil, grease, and loose material.
2. Mixing:
   • Combine the resin (Part A) and hardener (Part B) in the recommended ratio until a uniform color is achieved.
3. Application:
   • Apply the mixture using a spatula, applicator, or brush, ensuring even coverage.
4. Curing:
   • Allow to cure at room temperature. Full mechanical properties are typically achieved within 24 hours.
