In industries like mining, power generation and steel manufacturing, equipment can take a beating. Heavy and constant wear from abrasive materials, impact forces and harsh conditions can affect performance and lead to unplanned downtime that reduces your productivity and ups your costs. Wear prevention coatings provide tough protection for high-wear areas, helping you avoid frequent repairs and replacements, and keep operations running smoothly and efficiently. By shielding equipment from abrasion and impact, you also extend their asset life and enhance their reliability. Blackwoods' supply partner Henkel now stocks the new [LOCTITE® range](https://www.blackwoods.com.au/searchpage#q=loctite%20epoxy)of wear protection epoxy coatings, providing superior abrasion and impact resistance. > *“LOCTITE® wear protection coatings are engineered to enhance the durability of equipment in tough industrial settings,”* says Mark Casotti of Henkel Adhesive Technologies ANZ. *“With exceptional adhesion to steel and ceramic wear liners, these coatings deliver outstanding resistance to abrasion, erosion, and chemical damage. By minimising maintenance needs and maximising process efficiency, they help keep operations running smoothly and cost-effectively.”* ![Loctite Blog Image](https://blog.blackwoods.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Loctite%20Blog%20Image.png?width=1000&height=350&name=Loctite%20Blog%20Image.png) ### Benefits of LOCTITE® protective epoxy coatings. - **Extends equipment life:** Provides durable protection, often tripling the lifespan of equipment in high-wear areas. - **Superior impact resistance**: Withstands heavy impact – ideal for areas exposed to both abrasion and high-stress conditions. - **Outstanding abrasion resistance:** Effective in both wet and dry abrasion conditions, suited for severe industrial environments. - **Sag resistant: **Applies in thick layers on vertical and overhead surfaces without sagging, ensuring complete coverage. - **Reliable long-term protection:** Offers durable, low-maintenance protection, reducing the need for frequent reapplications. - **Fast cure time:** 4-6 hours. - **Cost-effectiveness**: Higher durability and fewer reapplications means lower maintenance costs over time.
