Pipe Flange Encapsulation & Corrosion Protection System

Problem: Pipe Flange Corrosion Protection

Moisture and atmospheric contaminants that infiltrate and collect within the joint cause corrosion damage in pipe flanges. Such corrosion is hard to detect and therefore has an adverse effect on the reliability of your system. As a result, this corrosion increases your risk of failure, downtime, product loss and safety hazard.

Conventional flange protectors such as hard coatings, covers, clamps, tapes, thermoplastics and VCI bags all exhibit shortcomings when considering the balance between protection and ease of maintenance and inspection. Many of these methods require time-consuming re-application or replacement after installation. As a result, re-application will increase maintenance costs and lengthen shutdown duration. In other cases, these methods can fail to protect the flange long-term against corrosion.

Solution: Pipe Flange Encapsulation

The Belzona 3411 peelable and resealable flange protector offers excellent corrosion protection and simple installation. You can completely encapsulate any shape, size or configuration of flanged joint. Our pipe flange encapsulation system will protect the flange joint with an inner corrosion-inhibiting layer while the outer elastic barrier will seal out external moisture and environmental contaminants. The 3411 pipe flange encapsulation system is tough and flexible with high bonding strength and UV / environmental weathering resistance. This product installs safely and easily without the need for hot work or specialist tools.

Easy Maintenance Saves Money

The Belzona flange encapsulation system allows easy access for maintenance work - just cut with a knife and peel back. Afterward, fold the membrane back into position and quickly reseal with a small quantity of 3411. This painless process will help to improve asset reliability by expediting maintenance inspections.
