Protect workers from hot surfaces with this barrier
Belzona 5871 is a two-component, polymeric, solvent-free system providing a thermal insulation barrier with corrosion protection and thermal and sub-zero “cool-to-touch” properties. This material is designed to be applied to metal pipework, ducting and other industrial equipment. In a recent application, the barrier was applied to the upper surface of a tank (photo) that reaches temperatures of 110°C, to protect employees from the risk of contact burns. Belzona 5871 can be applied by brush, cartridge or plural spray, expanding upon application to produce a lightweight, closed-cell foam. This reduces the surface temperature of metallic substrates to below 60°C, while providing corrosion protection. — Belzona Polymers Ltd., Harrogate, U.K.
