Mining & Resources
Built for Tough Conditions. Made for Mining.
Mining operations place constant demands on equipment. From heavy impact and abrasive materials to harsh weather and around-the-clock operation, every component needs to be built for long-term performance. Choosing the right material can help reduce wear, minimise maintenance and keep equipment operating efficiently.
At Altius Polymers, we supply engineering plastics and industrial materials used across Australia's mining and resources industry. From wear liners and conveyor components to heavy-duty replacement glazing and machine guards, our materials are selected to perform in demanding surface and underground mining environments.
Our range also includes specialised wear-protection systems, replacement polycarbonate glazing and engineered plastic solutions that help extend equipment life, reduce downtime and improve operational reliability.
Designed for Demanding Mining Environments
Mining equipment is exposed to constant impact, vibration and abrasion. That's why many operations rely on engineered plastics to protect equipment, reduce maintenance requirements and improve long-term performance.
Our range includes high-performance haul-truck tray liners and wear-protection systems designed to reduce abrasion and impact damage to truck bodies. By extending tray life and reducing repairs, these systems can help lower replacement costs and improve fleet productivity.
We also supply 40 PSI-rated polycarbonate replacement windows for haul trucks and heavy mining equipment. These provide excellent impact resistance, clear visibility and reliable performance in demanding operating conditions.
For underground coal mining, we offer FRAS-rated polycarbonate conveyor guards, electrical-panel screens and protective viewing panels. These products are supported by independent testing and documentation and are intended to assist customers in meeting applicable Resources Safety and Health Queensland (RSHQ) requirements, including the recommendations outlined in RSHQ Safety Alert No. 381, where appropriate installation and earthing controls are applied.
Materials Used Across Mining & Resource Operations
Widely used for chute liners, hopper liners and wear strips where low friction and excellent abrasion resistance are required.
Suitable for liners, protective panels and fabricated components that require good impact strength and moisture resistance.
A popular choice for machine guards, equipment windows and protective screens where strength and clear visibility are important.
Abrasion Resistant Polycarbonate
Designed for viewing panels and machine guards exposed to repeated abrasion in demanding industrial environments.
Anti-Static Clear Polycarbonate
Suitable for conveyor guarding, inspection panels and protective screens where static control and clear visibility are important.
Commonly used for bushes, rollers, wear pads and machined components that operate under heavy loads.
Ideal for precision machined components requiring dimensional stability and reliable performance.
Used for seals, gaskets and components where low friction and chemical resistance are important.
A high-performance engineering plastic suited to demanding applications involving heat, wear and continuous operation.
