Polyurethane protects mining equipment From high impact and wear applications
Mining equipment must withstand some of the toughest abuse in terms of impact and wear due to the harsh environment and long hours of use. Traditional materials such as rubber and steel – tough as they are – may become damaged or can experience severe wear in contact with a variety of sharp or coarse mining materials. Fortunately, innovative material polyurethane – or urethane – can withstand severe impact, puncture, cutting, tearing, and abrasion. This week’s Blog takes a look at Michigan-based Argonics and the products they are bringing to market that will help ensure that your equipment spends more…
