100 years is a big milestone for any piece of rubber, but Linatex^® premium rubber is so much more than that – it’s 95% latex formula and unique manufacturing process has remained unchanged for 100 years.

100 Years of Performance

Linatex^® premium natural rubber exhibits outstanding resilience, strength and resistance to cutting, tearing and abrasion. It has been field-tested in mine sites for 100 years, delivering set-and-forget solutions with unsurpassed wear life in critical, severe-duty applications.

“Everything that we’ve tried to do with it [Linatex rubber] to see if it can fail, it hasn’t failed yet,” says Chance Harvey, director of Engineering and Mine Plant Development, Pattison Sand.

 100 Years of Value

For the past century, Linatex^® rubber lining and modular panels have been significantly reducing maintenance costs, improving safety and increasing throughput for the mines. And the next 100 years will be no different.

“It significantly reduces material costs associated with changing out too frequently. On the cost side, most importantly, it enabled us to produce more copper,” said Akhbayar Enkhsaikhan, concentrator maintenance manager, Oyu Tolgoi Mine.
