International. Belzona's new product is a sulphur hexafluoride (SF₆) leak solution that can be applied in-line and without specialised tools.
The Belzona SF6-FIX features an effective system that can reduce SF₆ leaks to undetectable levels, leaks can be sealed quickly and expertly, leading to environmental and financial savings.
This application does not need solvents, it is cold and quick to install, it can be done in just one day avoiding downtime. It can be applied on valves, pipes, fittings, gaskets, seals, and wedges. In addition, it also acts as a corrosion protector.
Despite its usefulness, SF₆ is incredibly harmful to the planet. With a warming potential 23,500 times greater than carbon dioxide (CO₂), SF₆ is the most potent greenhouse gas. This means that even in trace amounts, SF₆ has a disproportionately significant impact on global warming.
The Environmental Protection Agency notes that leak detection studies show that approximately 10% of circuit breaker populations leak and that 85% of these leaks release enough of this dangerous gas to be considered significant.
Frequent leaks of such a potent greenhouse gas have become a serious contributor to global warming. Belzona SF6-FIX offers an effective long-term solution that prevents environmental damage.
