Mining
Severe abrasion, dust, moisture and chemicals from extraction processes - coatings that endure where other systems fail within weeks.
The most abrasive environment in industry
Mining operations subject equipment and structures to a relentless combination of particulate abrasion, mechanical impact, moisture and process chemicals - acids generated by sulfide oxidation, mineral slurry at extreme pH and leaching solutions. A conventional coating does not survive this environment. Systems formulated specifically for mining are thicker, more abrasion-resistant and chemically compatible with the process environment.
Applications and systems
SAG and ball mills - interior
Ceramic and ultra-high-build epoxy systems with mineral fillers for abrasion and impact resistance in mill internal linings.
Chutes, troughs and transfer points
High-abrasion epoxy with mineral and ceramic fillers - applied in multiple coats to a total thickness > 3 mm at critical impact points.
Ore silos and hoppers
High-build epoxy systems for silo internal lining - protection against abrasion and corrosion from acid condensation and wet concentrate.
Plant steel structures
Zinc Clad® + Macropoxy® + PU finish for structures in C4/C5-I environments with abrasive dust and moisture - a 3-coat system with a 10+ year life cycle.
Heap leach pads - geomembranes and floors
Concrete and steel coatings compatible with leaching solution (SX-EW) - resistance to dilute sulfuric acid and copper sulfate.
Process tanks - CIL/CIP and flotation
Epoxy systems resistant to cyanide, flotation reagents and mineral slurry at variable pH - including alkaline and acidic environments.
