Flanges can be easily repair and protected against erosion using Belzona 1111 (Super Metal), a polymer based repair composite that can be applied in-situ without hot work. Flange faces can be easily damaged by corrosive fluids, crevice and galvanic corrosion, and heat distortion which cause leaks and consequent loss of containment. Leaks caused by a loose seal on a damaged flange face can often result in health and safety hazards, downtime, clean up and disposal costs and costly repair or replacement.
