Growing global energy needs and technological advancements are driving demand for mining. To keep pace with this growth, mining operators can adopt polymeric solutions to protect critical assets from wear, corrosion, abrasion, and other forms of damage, supporting operational continuity and stable supply chains.
Cold-Bonding Adhesives
Belzona cold-bonding adhesive materials are designed to restore and enhance structural integrity while avoiding invasive repair methods. Instead of using hot work, such as welding or riveting, cold-bonding adhesive materials enable solutions that reduce operational disruption, improve workplace safety, and support efficient maintenance. The Belzona 1000 Series can be used for various applications to bond, shim, or rebuild components affected by corrosion or erosion. As 100% solid materials, they show no shrinkage or contraction during cure.
Shimming and Chocking Materials
Heavy-load mining operations can result in loose machinery foundations and equipment misalignment. This could lead to operational disruption and safety hazards. To overcome these challenges, Belzona 7111, a high-performance pourable epoxy chocking material, can be used to secure machinery foundations. This 100% solids engineered material is designed for chocking and shimming equipment subject to physical and thermal shock, high impact and compressive loads.
Abrasion- and Erosion-Resistant Materials
Equipment handling ore and slurry, such as screw conveyors, chutes, pumps, and crushers, is continuously exposed to hard, sharp particles that can gradually wear away metal surfaces. Ceramic-filled, erosion- and corrosion-resistant materials such as Belzona 1311 (Ceramic R-Metal) and Belzona 1321 (Ceramic S-Metal) can help mining operators rebuild eroded surfaces and protect equipment from further damage. Belzona 1800 Series can be used as a lining system to protect mining equipment from abrasive wear.
Composite Wrap System
The Belzona composite wrap system, Belzona SuperWrap, combines a 100% solids resin with carbon and glass fibre reinforcement sheet and a compression film. Suitable for service temperatures from -60°C to 150°C, the system is designed to restore pipe and tank walls that have been damaged or weakened by corrosion, erosion, heat, chemicals, or environmental conditions. The composite wrap can be designed to conform to ISO 24817 and ASME PCC-2 standards.
Elastomeric Materials for Rubber and Metal Surfaces
Excessive wear can cause premature failure of rubber components, such as tires, cables, and conveyor belts used in mining operations, as well as metal components, including bearings, valve linings, and seals. The Belzona 2000 Series offers a range of materials for rebuilding and protecting substrates such as rubber, nitrile, and steel against wear, impact, and abrasion. Belzona 2311 (SR Elastomer) is a fast-curing elastomer specifically designed for both emergency and permanent repairs.
