The use of chutes, silos, containers and buckets originally made of steel including stainless are a few examples of applications that encounters problems involving corrosion, wear and sticking that prevents particles to flow freely. Wear and abrasion resistant and non sticking chutes, containers, silos and buckets liners made of various polymers such as UHMW-PE, PVC, HDPE, etc. by Formothane have significantly contributed to reduce wear on the substrate that they installed on. This is a definite advantage considering the downtime and replacing costs incurred by the reparation of chutes and silos. The non sticking characteristics of Formothane polymer chutes and silos liner contribute to a better particle, thus significantly diminishing down time due to blockage.

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.
