Mining Materials
Plastics are used in the Mining Industry to improve mining efficiency and reduce downtime.
Canvas Phenolic grade CE sheet is made of a cotton canvas cloth impregnated with a phenolic resin binder. Known primarily for its mechanical properties, Phenolic CE sheet is a hard, dense material.
Delrin/Acetal GP offers high strength and stiffness in a durable material that will resist bending under loading and also has the ability to withstand cyclic stressing. Adaptable over a wide range of temperatures, bearing loads and relative surface speeds, Acetal’s static and dynamic coefficients of friction remain nearly unchanged.
Nylatron® is a solid choice for many applications in a wide variety of industries, from industrial to food and beverage, construction, pulp and paper, wood processing and forestry.
As a wear material with near 0% moisture absorption and many formulations designed to suit specific tasks, UHMW is the preferred material for use in bulk handling equipment, conveyor components, chain guides, and wear pads which can all suffer from friction, sticking & abrasion problems. The low coefficient of friction of Tivar products allow for outstanding wear characteristics and excellent corrosion resistance in many applications - most formulations are available in sheet, rod and tubing.
