Metals and Minerals Facilities

Protecting the equipment and structures of the mining industry presents some unique challenges. It is imperative to keep these facilities running at the high efficiency. Unplanned repairs cause expensive delays in production and can cost companies millions of dollars in revenues in just a few days.

Critical areas such tanks, secondary containment areas, process equipment, assembly lines, and industrial floors need to be kept in peak condition. Companies are also much more interested in aesthetics to increase employee morale, productivity and impress customers and visitors. However, downtime must be kept to a minimum. Today's mining operations are intended to run 24/7 to maximize profits. Facility managers simply can't wait days for coating systems to cure. Sometimes there is only a window of a few hours to perform maintenance painting or even system replacements and upgrades.

It is also important that structural steel, process equipment, floors, conveyors and structures are protected from harsh chemical attack. Safety is a key issue not only with anti-slip surfaces, but also the use of low VOC products along with environmentally friendly surface preparation. These issues need to be taken in consideration along with service life when specifying a proper coatings system at mining operations.
