Mineral extraction takes place in an aggressive environment. That's why complex, wear-resistant metal equipment is used to keep the production process running efficiently. However, some metal components are being successfully replaced with lighter, stronger and more durable polyurethane equivalents.

This material is not prone to corrosion and resists exposure to a range of aggressive chemical compounds. Polyurethane is also valued in the mining industry for the following performance advantages:

Polyurethane is used to manufacture durable hydrocyclones and screen decks. This material is also indispensable for lining the working surfaces of mining equipment, multiplying its full service life several times over. This is especially true for rollers and wheels, which are constantly subjected to friction and high temperatures.
