Overview of Polymer Lining
Polymer lining is a protective layer made from high-performance polymers, designed to reduce wear, prevent corrosion, and improve the operational efficiency of industrial equipment. QMH’s polymer lining solutions are known for their high impact strength, self-lubrication, flame retardancy, and resistance to extreme temperatures. Industries ranging from mining and coal to cement, steel, chemical, and food processing increasingly rely on polymer linings to protect equipment and minimize downtime.
Key Features of Polymer Lining
QMH polymer linings provide a comprehensive set of features that make them ideal for industrial use. These include:
-
Super Wear-Resistance: Up to 6 times higher wear resistance than conventional materials, reducing equipment degradation.
-
Low Friction and Anti-Sticky Surface: Materials flow easily, reducing adhesion and improving process efficiency.
-
Self-Lubrication: Coefficient of friction between 0.07 and 0.11, minimizing maintenance requirements.
-
High Impact Strength: Absorbs shocks and prevents damage in harsh industrial conditions.
-
Chemical and Oil Resistance: Resistant to acids, alkalis, and oils, extending service life.
-
Temperature Resistance: Operates from -195℃ to +120℃, suitable for extreme environments.
-
Flame Retardant: Certified green material, self-extinguishes within 3-10 seconds.
-
Customizable: Thickness, shape, and size can be tailored to equipment specifications.
-
Food and Pharmaceutical Safe: Available in grades compliant with hygiene standards for sensitive industries.
