Wear Resistant Technologies

Wear is an inherent challenge in material-handling applications. Most markets contend with abrasion, corrosion, and erosion during raw material transfer processes which can lead to excessive maintenance costs and disruptive shutdowns. Advanced wear-resistant technologies can provide economical yet effective solutions for combatting specific wear modes, ensuring the continuity and efficiency of your processes. Saint-Gobain Performance Refractories and Ceramics excels in custom engineering shapes for material handling equipment. Our goal is to eliminate persistent challenges encountered in routine plant operations, extending the service lives of material handling equipment.

Enhancing the wear resistance of critical components helps keep your systems running at maximum operational levels, maintaining uptimes, and reducing waste via material leaks and spills, while significantly reducing the need for repairs/replacements. Cutting-edge ceramic products are key enablers of these operational drivers, improving vital performance metrics and helping to realize more sustainable plant operations.

Our wear resistant technologies have assisted customers in a wide range of market segments, including chemical processing industries (CPI), mining and earth exploration, recycling, construction, metallurgy, and renewable energies.

Ceramic Materials: Intrinsically Valuable to WR Technologies

The Saint-Gobain wear resistant technologies business unit has set a new benchmark for high quality with the most stringent demands. We have curated a range of ceramic solutions designed to improve the performance, efficiency, and equipment lifetime of essential products in material handling pipelines. We continue to serve a broad range of applications with extremely high hardness aluminum oxides (Al2O3 and ZTA), plus next-generation silicon carbide (SiC) solutions in a variety of formats, including a selection of nitride bonded silicon carbide, reaction bonded silicon carbide, and sintered silicon carbide.
