CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa., Feb. 20, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Mining
companies face complex operational challenges where compliant
solutions can optimize processes. Quaker Chemical
Corporation (NYSE:KWR, "Quaker") will be demonstrating how its
DUSTGRIP® Dust Suppressants, MINETECH™ Ground Control
Agents, and QUINTOLUBRIC® Longwall and
Fire-resistant Hydraulic Fluids support a safe work environment
and offer compliance solutions at the 2018 Society for Mining,
Metallurgy & Exploration (SME), February 25th – 28th 2018
in Minneapolis MN, USA.
(http://smeannualconference.com/).
Quaker's Jon Brown, Market
Manager Mining, will be discussing why dust suppression is
important, the main approaches to dust control, and additional
information on the DUSTGRIP® product line during the
technical talk "Guidelines for Selecting the Right Dust
Suppression" on Wednesday, February
25th at 10:25
am.
The need for dust suppressants in the mining industry continues
to increase due to health, safety, and regulatory reasons. Whether
on a surface or underground mine, dust and other particulates are a
constant safety concern for those working in the mining industry.
These hazards can cause a wide range of issues including
respiratory illnesses, and operational risks.
Quaker offers a solution to these concerns with
DUSTGRIP®, a family of dust suppressants for various
applications, including crushers and conveyor systems, rail cars,
stockpiles, unpaved haul roads, pits and quarries, mine tailings,
screening operations, construction sites, unpaved parking lots and
roadways, longwalls, and embankments.
Quaker has also added a line of MINETECH™ Ground Control Agents
that can be dispensed through low or high pressure dispensing
systems for rapid cavity filling and strata consolidation.
This line includes MINETECH™ Q-FOAM, a two-chemical component, mine
ventilation air sealant. Once dispensed, the product quickly
creates an air tight seal around mine ventilation devices to
improve overall ventilation efficiency. To see a detailed video of
how to both use and apply our MINETECH™ Q-FOAM spray polyurethane
foam kit, please visit:
