How to cold bond ladder brackets to a tank

Despite its challenges relating to safety and downtime, welding is still the most recognized method of bonding. In this video Belzona demonstrates how to cold bond ladder brackets to a tank without welding.

Materials used:

To bond this bracket, Belzona used Belzona 1212 and Belzona 9111 (Cleaner Degreaser).

Step-by-step instructions

Step 1: Prepare the entire bond area of the tank wall and the bracket using a grinder.

Step 2: Mask off and thoroughly clean bond area.

Step 3: Mix and apply Belzona 1212 with a stiff bristled brush in a thin layer to the tank wall pressing hard to ensure the material fills the profile. For more information on how to correctly mix this product please view the IFU. https://www.belzona.com/ViewFile.aspx?id=55722

Step 4: Apply the Belzona material to the entire area of the bracket creating a peak in the centre.

Step 5: Bond the bracket onto the tank with force making sure Belzona material is squeezed out of the sides.

Step 6: With an applicator, remove the excess material to ensure an aesthetically pleasing finish once the masking tape is removed.
