Why Polyurethanes?
High Performance | Corrosion Resistant | Abrasion Resistant | Waterproofing | Long-Term Asset Protection
Polyurethane solutions provides flexible, durable, unbroken membranes across an extensive range of water, chemical and abrasive environments.
Polyurethane is a highly versatile polymer, formed by the combination of two chemicals, polyol and isocyanate. Being able to mix the ratios of these chemicals, plus the addition of catalysts, is what makes polyurethane so versatile. What really makes polyurethane stand out though, are its properties given this versatility. This is what makes polyurethane an unparalleled choice when considering both safety and efficiency for your mining site.
Developed through extensive research and testing procedures, high-performance polyurea and hybrid systems provide flexible, durable, unbroken membranes in the harsh conditions of mining and across an extensive range of water, chemical and abrasive environments.
The durability of Pacific Urethanes protective coating systems represents high economic value. Pacific Urethanes’ polyurethane coatings provide high levels of corrosion protection combined with high levels of wear resistance that provides protection and extend the asset life. Ultimately this will result in substantial cost savings in the long term, reduction to service times, and minimal wear and tear regardless of the environment they are used in or operation they are designed for.
PACIFIC URETHANES – GRUYERE GOLD MINE PROJECT
The Challenge
The project required the construction of seven carbon‐in‐leach tanks. The challenge for Pacific Urethanes was to deliver the following polyurethane system which would
- Utilise a lining system that resists a highly abrasive and corrosive chemical environment
- Allow for a quick turn around and start-up of the plant. The lining of the tanks was one of the last contracts of the project in the construction phase
- Provide long term protection of the structure
