Metals and Mining
We know the challenges and strict demands of the metals and mining industry. In this sector, what finishes off a coating is often not corrosion but mechanical wear.
TYPICAL LOAD · Abrasive dust, impact, heavy loads
RISK ANALYSIS
This is where corrosion comes from.
- Continuous abrasion from ore and dust
- Heavy equipment impact and scratching
- Process water and chemical spills
- Short maintenance window due to continuous production
RECOMMENDED SYSTEM
Coating build-up.
The layer build-up typically used in this sector. Values are indicative; the final system is determined by the site inspection report and the product technical data sheet.
PrimerZinc-rich epoxy
80 µm
Intermediate - MidcoatEpoxy High Solids
200 µm
Finish / TopcoatPolyurethane
60 µm
TOTAL DFT340 µm
CATEGORYC4 – C5
Indicative system example.
APPLICATION AREAS
Where is it used?
Crushing and screening plants
Conveyor frames and drums
Silos and bunkers
Heavy machinery bodies
Steel structures and platforms
POINTS TO NOTE
- Choose high-build epoxy in wear areas
- Do not go below Sa 2½ in surface preparation
- Fast-curing options should be considered to suit maintenance shutdowns
