Rhino Linings: Just the Armour needed for Australia’s Mining Landscape

Rhino Linings - Just the Armour needed for Australia's Mining Landscape

In Australia’s unforgiving mining environments, where abrasive materials, corrosive agents, and relentless impact are everyday adversaries, equipment protection is not a nicety; it’s a necessity. That’s where Rhino Linings Australasia brings its game-changing edge, delivering protective coatings that redefine resilience and cost-efficiency across heavy industries.

Built for the Long Haul

Since its 1988 inception, Rhino Linings has built a reputation for rugged durability and innovation, evolving into a global leader with over 2,000 applicators spanning 80+ countries. In Australia, the brand has become synonymous with tailored solutions engineered for extreme conditions, a testament to both ingenuity and quality.

Unmatched Protection for Mining Assets

Unmatched Protection for Mining Assets

Rhino Linings’ mine-site protective coatings are thick, spray-applied systems using polyurethane and polyurea to form an impenetrable barrier. These linings act sacrificially, wearing instead of the structural substrate, and can even incorporate wear indicators to signal when recoating is needed, saving mining companies hundreds of thousands of dollars in replacements.

These coatings bond to nearly any material, steel, concrete, fiberglass, and remain flexible despite thermal expansion. The result: reduced maintenance, extended asset life, and significantly lower downtime.

Application Areas in the Field

Rhino Linings coatings are in use across a wide range of mining equipment:

  • Haul trucks & underbodies, where impact and corrosion are constant threats.
  • Ore chutes, hoppers, and conveyor systems, where relentless abrasion is a daily challenge.
  • Dumps, bins, and loading pads, all benefiting from enhanced wear protection.
  • Field tests at BHP’s Yandi site confirm Rhino coatings guard wear plates and chutes under severe wear conditions.
