Whitepaper - From Breakdown to Benchmark: Best Practices in Wearing Compound Use for Mining Maintenance
Unplanned downtime remains one of the costliest challenges in minerals processing, reaching over half a million USD per hour in some operations. As infrastructure ages and skilled labour becomes harder to source, maintenance teams are under mounting pressure to do more with less. But the solution isn’t just about fixing equipment, it’s a smarter, more strategic approach.
In partnership with the Competence Centre for Mining & Resources (CCMR) at the German-Australian Chamber of Industry and Commerce, Henkel presents an exclusive White Paper packed with practical insights, global case studies, and proven strategies to reduce wear, extend equipment life, and drive meaningful change.
From managing high-wear areas like chutes, belts, and cyclones to improving product selection and application techniques, this paper delivers field-tested guidance for building a proactive, high-performance maintenance culture.
Explore how innovation, training, and the right adhesive technologies can close knowledge gaps, boost reliability, and create a safer, more sustainable operation, site by site. Download the full White Paper and take the next step toward best-in-class maintenance.
Our solutions are designed for heavy duty mining equipment.
Maintaining trucks, shovels, loaders, and secondary heavy-duty equipment in harsh environments with constant vibration often leads to loose fasteners, leaking hydraulic fittings, and failing gaskets.

Maintaining trucks, shovels, loaders, and secondary heavy-duty equipment in harsh environments with constant vibration often leads to loose fasteners, leaking hydraulic fittings, and failing gaskets.
Our product solutions:
Milling equipment is exposed to heavy impact and sliding abrasion wear, often leading to unplanned downtime—especially at the mill’s inlet and exit ducts.
Our product solutions:
Cyclone discharge bins endure severe wear from continuous abrasion and impact by high-velocity particles. This wear can weaken the bin’s structure and shorten its service life.
Our product solutions:
Conveyor belts are subjected to some of the harshest operating environment. Belts are often damaged by sharp ore fragments which can cut or gouge the belt, causing downtime and costly repairs.
Our product solutions:
Pipes, ducts, and elbows in mining operations suffer from high wear due to
continuous flow of abrasive slurries and particles, especially at bends where velocity and impact are highest. This leads to thinning, leaks, and unplanned shutdowns.
Our product solutions:
- LOCTITE® PC 9593 Fast Cure High Impact Wearing Compound
- LOCTITE® PC 9416 Floor Fill
- LOCTITE® PC 7332 Silicon-Carbide Pneu-Wear
Flotation cells’ internal liners, rotors, stators, and main shafts are subjected to severe wear caused by constant particle abrasion. This wear can lead to reduced efficiency and increased maintenance needs.

- LOCTITE® PC 9416 Floor Fill
- LOCTITE® PC 7332 Silicon-Carbide Pneu-Wear
Chutes experience severe abrasion wear, especially at the gaps between ceramic liner joints, along with erosion of the underlying metal plates.
Our product solutions:
Pumps used across mine sites handle abrasive slurries, corrosive chemicals, and high pressures—leading to rapid wear of casings, impellers, and seals. This often results in reduced flow efficiency, leaks, and unexpected maintenance shutdowns.

LOCTITE® PC 9593™ has a fast functional cure time of 4 hrs, which provides quicker repair and reduced downtime.
LOCTITE® PC 9593™ is designed to protect, rebuild and repair equipment subjected to impact due to dropping, rolling, and sliding of large particles. Its increased impact resistance outperforms other products in the market.
LOCTITE® PC 7332™ is a silicon carbide based 2K epoxy offers better abrasion resistance than aluminium oxide based epoxies. Watch LOCTITE® PC 7332™ outperform other coatings in a Miller Slurry Abrasion Tester.
LOCTITE® PC 7332™ is easy to apply and won’t sag on vertical surfaces. Its functional cure time is only 6 hours, reducing downtime.
Henkel partners with mining operations to deliver expert technical consultancy and customised maintenance training, helping to improve on-site safety, maximise equipment reliability, and reduce unplanned downtime and repair costs.
On-Site Training
Our LOCTITE® Surface Engineering Workshops provide hands-on training tailored to your plant’s specific equipment and maintenance challenges. Conducted on-site, these sessions include a facility walk-through, pre-training needs assessment, and practical application exercises to build your team’s skills in preventing common equipment failures.
Product Trials
Put our solutions to the test with a structured product trial at your site. Henkel’s technical experts will guide your team through correct application methods and monitor performance throughout the trial period to ensure optimal results. While lab testing is valuable, real-world trials are critical to validate the performance of wear protection products under actual operating conditions.
