Quarrying, Mining & Concrete ConstructionIndustry
When it comes to quarrying, mining and the construction industry polyurethane can be used for many different applications such as hydro-cyclones, screen media, scraper blades, rollers, hammer pads, pump linings, concrete formers, mixer paddles, brick & concrete moulds, printing mats, wear protection and wheels & tyres. The list is extensive and continuing to grow for this demanding market sector.
As with many other market sectors polyurethane is replacing traditional rubbers, plastics and even steel as it can absorb vibration which reduces noise, is lighter weight, abrasion and wear resistant and is cheaper to manufacture as there is no requirement for expensive processes like welding or machining.
