Erosion-Corrosion Resistant

Metal Repair Composite

1311
Belzona 1311 (Ceramic R-Metal) is a repair composite
designed for rebuilding and protecting metal against the
effects of erosion and corrosion.

This cold-applied material benefits from excellent

erosion resistance and can be used to restore equipment
operating under immersion without the need for hot work.

Belzona 1311 demonstrates outstanding adhesion to a

variety of substrates, allowing it to also be used as a high
strength structural adhesive for metal bonding. For long-
lasting performance, it can be overcoated with another
of Belzona’s 1300 Series materials.
