Types of Rubber Linings that Work Well in the Mining Industry
Quality Splicing & Repair Materials for Heavyweight Belts
Blair Rubber is a leading provider of hot vulcanized splicing and repair materials for heavyweight belts, recognized throughout the industry for service and quality. Available materials include Grade I/II, nitrile, EPDM, and MSHA-approved neoprene for underground conveyor belts, as well as solvents, cements, primers, Holland cloth, and a selection of RFL-coated breaker fabrics.
MSHA-Approved Grade S Splicing Materials
In 2013, the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) approved Blair Rubber’s Grade S splicing materials for use on underground conveyor belts. These materials are designed to meet fire resistance or self-extinguishing requirements and comply with the MSHA CS-11 quality assurance standard under 30 CFR 14.8. MSHA is a division of the U.S. Department of Labor responsible for promoting safe and healthy workplaces for the nation’s miners.
Benefits of Hot Vulcanized Splicing
Blair Rubber recommends hot vulcanized splicing and repair methods over cold bonding where long-term performance is critical. This process creates a more uniform molecular bond compared to typical cold bonding methods. While hot vulcanizing may require greater upfront investment, it can provide a more durable and longer-lasting repair.
