Belzona is a large international manufacterer/distributor of industrial
chemicals, mostly coatings and repair adhesives. Their products are
expensive ($200/qt) and very highly touted. Most are epoxy based. They
provide dozens of formulations varying from ceramics, metal filled, to
rubber-type roofing. JB-Weld is a "street corner" competitor. They are
available only through a sales rep, and most local distributors of
Belzona products are exclusive (ie. there's only *one* in any given
area). According to chat on the metal working group, the company gives
absolutely NO warrantees and very little technical assistance;
information can be had from the salesman (presumeably highly trained and
knowledgeable (?)) or from contacting persons who have actually used the
products. The only reference I could find (on the web) for their marine
products was one jpg picture of a tanker on their web page.
I would suspect that a bottom coat without biocides in it would only
work if the vessel were constantly in motion.
