ShieldCrete

ShieldCrete® is highlighting the performance of its ShieldMining® TSL through a project completed at a mining site in Queensland, Australia.

Working in a high‑risk ground environment, the product delivered fast, reliable consolidation by forming a tough, resilient lining that adhered exceptionally well even to moist, uneven rock faces — a capability supported by its outstanding adhesion profile.

With rapid curing that reaches service readiness in as little as 1–2 hours, ShieldMining® TSL helps minimize operational downtime while enhancing overall ground stability in critical mining areas. Its impressive compressive and tensile strength further supports safer workspaces across portals, tunnels, and underground access points.

Its fire‑resistant, non‑combustible, and water‑based formulation also adds significant safety value, eliminating dust and flammable volatiles in underground operations where strict compliance matters most.

ShieldMining® represents ShieldCrete®’s commitment to delivering proven, engineered solutions for safer and more resilient mining operations worldwide.

Featured Project - Application of the BeltShield® system to replenish the rubber cover to get the belt through the 6 weeks until a major shut down.

Pilbara, WA, Australia - The client was one of the biggest iron ore miners in the world. They wanted to get the 20km conveyor to last until their next major shut down. As the first fullscale trial, our client applied the BeltShield® system to the belt when it was stationary. The belt owner wanted 6 weeks. Turns out it was still going 12 months later! They did further sectiosn of the belt in additional short shuts and are now talking about using the BeltShield® system to extend the belt replacement by up to 5 years!

The BeltShield® system is a 100% solids primer and a 100% solids polyurea top coat specifically designed to stick to rubber and withstand the forces on the products as they go over the head rollers within minutes of application.

The ShieldPrime SP and ShieldPrime CV systems are revolutionary in that they are the first 100% solids primer that bonds to rubber as well if not better than the heavily solvented products that crews are typically subjected to.

The exceptional adhesion and the physical properties of the ShieldPoly CV mean that the product won’t peel off in sheets. The excellent blend of physical properties means that it can out-perform the original rubber cover, with minimal peeling at the feathered edges.

Project Application | Papua New Guinea

In a remote island mining operation in Papua New Guinea, secondary containment systems must perform under constant exposure to chemicals, high humidity, and corrosive coastal conditions.

The project utilized an NCA secondary protection bund lining system, delivering a seamless, chemically resistant barrier engineered for long-term performance. The lining provides low permeability, excellent adhesion to the substrate, and durable protection against chemical attack, helping to prevent seepage and protect surrounding soil and waterways.

Designed to support strict environmental controls, the system enhances asset protection, operational safety, and HSE compliance in demanding mining environments.

Cyclone Tank Restoration | Industrial Repainting Works

Cyclone tanks are critical process equipment in oil & gas operations, designed to separate solids from fluids using centrifugal force and pressure, protecting downstream systems and ensuring uninterrupted operations in demanding environments.

A series of cyclone tanks recently underwent sequential restoration and repainting, following strict industrial surface preparation and coating procedures to restore performance, safety, and longevity.

Project Highlights
• Surface preparation conducted inside the blast shed, including removal of stickers, masking plates, and contaminants
• Structural repairs completed on damaged handrails by certified boilermakers
• Tanks abrasive blasted to achieve correct surface profile
• Application of CPox ZP230 zinc-rich primer for corrosion protection
• Intermediate and topcoats applied using ST170 / RAL7035 Grey
• Safety and identification coatings applied:
• RAL3002 Red on valves and lugs
• RAL1023 Safety Yellow on handrails
• Tank skids water blasted, abrasive blasted, primed, and coated
• Final reassembly completed, including refitting of hoses and accessories

Each stage was carefully executed to ensure the assets are returned to service with enhanced durability, safety visibility, and extended service life.

⊹ Welcoming the New Year
As the year begins, ShieldCrete® continues delivering efficient in-and-out industrial repainting services, helping clients restore critical equipment while minimizing downtime.

Restoring Industrial Equipment with ShieldCrete & CIN C-Pox

Our team recently restored compressor units and their frames exposed to high moisture and oil using the CIN C-Pox ST170 High Solid Base and Primer .

The high-performance, two-component epoxy system provided strong and reliable adhesion on steel and aluminum surfaces, creating a uniform, high-solids finish for professional results. It also offered enhanced corrosion protection to extend equipment life while reducing maintenance needs and the frequency of recoats.

With ShieldCrete® and CIN, your industrial assets receive durable protection and long-term performance, designed for demanding environments.

Thursday Testimonial

Every project we complete is a partnership and hearing honest words from our clients reminds us why we do what we do.

Today’s Thursday Testimonial comes from a valued client who trusted us with their wheel loader paint restoration needs. Their experience, paired with the transformation shown in the before-and-after photos, inspires us to keep improving and serving with integrity. We’re truly grateful for the trust, the opportunity, and the continued support.

Thank you for allowing us to be part of your journey.

Keeping a food processing area safe and compliant starts from the ground up—literally.

In a recent bakery flooring maintenance project, constant activity, moisture, and cleaning chemicals put the surface to the test every single day. The goal was simple: restore a durable, hygienic floor that can handle daily operations without cracking, peeling, or compromising safety.

Using a high-performance epoxy flooring system, we rebuilt the surface with strong adhesion, chemical resistance, and a seamless finish that prevents moisture ingress and early surface failure. The result? A smoother, safer, and more reliable floor ready for continuous production.

There’s much more behind how we prepared the substrate, managed work in an active facility, and ensured minimal downtime.

When everyone has each other’s back, work gets done smarter and safer.

On every project, our team relies on clear communication, proper planning, and a shared commitment to safety. From handling heavy equipment to working in challenging environments, every precaution, every check, and every handshake counts.

Because at the end of the day, success isn’t just finishing the job—it’s finishing it safely, together.
