Industry: Mining
Associated Products: Flexane® FL-10 Primer, Flexane® FL-20 Primer

Problem:
The high pressure hydraulic hose systems in this long wall mining operation receive extreme surface wear and gouging. This application is a non structural repair used to prevent premature replacement of expensive hydraulic hose systems due to surface abrasion.

Solution:
The complete repair area was firstly roughened using a belt sander. After roughening, repair area was chemically cleaned using Cleaner Blend 300. FL20 Primer was applied and allowed to cure or dry for 15 minutes. Flexane Fast Cure Repair Putty is dispensed and applied to the repair area using Devcon's Auto Mix Application System. Fast Cure was sculpted and smoothed using a putty knife. Flexane 80 Putty Fast Cure (90 minute functional cure), provided a long lasting, abrasion resistant repair.
