Typically made of steel, wear plates would contribute to the premature wear of adjacent contact parts. Formothane is capable of selecting the appropriate polymer best suited for the specific application as an alternative to conventional metallic wear plates. In some cases, Formothane’s polymer wear plates have enabled maintenance costs reductions by a factor as high as 70% since users spend less in replacement parts resulting in lower down time costs. Moreover, Formothane’s polymer wear plates can be machined more than once by users making it a real cost cutter.

For over 30 years, Formothane has developed multiple polymer (nylon, polyurethane, polyethylene, others) parts and components as value added replacement parts for usual metal based components. Designed specifically for the mining companies, pulp & paper mills, sawmills, aluminium smelters and food sector, Formothane’s polymer parts and components have significantly increased productions facilities efficiency. In certain cases, innovative polymer parts and components fabricated by Formothane have become an industry standard thus granting Formothane an OEM manufacturer supplier status.
