Mining Process Systems & Facilities
Mining presents another set of challenges when creating formulations for coatings and liners for this industry. Whether this is new construction or maintenance of existing area, mining coatings and liners require user friendly applications for applicators as underground operations have limited visibility and space. The processing of metals such as gold, copper, iron or minerals require products to have high resistance to impact and abrasion as well as to and chemical exposures. Limited down time available also yields to using fast-setting polyurea technology. The higher wear-resistance capa-bilities of polyurea also enhances safety and protection from conveyor equipment, natural ele-ments and gases, and other conditions presented in mines. The coatings must have also have a long service life.
