Canadian Mining Magazine Highlights Hard-Cem as the Solution to Mining’s $400K-an-Hour Challenge

Kryton International’s Hard-Cem® Integral Hardening Admixture was recently featured by Canadian Mining Magazine, highlighting how durable concrete can help mining operations address one of the industry’s most expensive challenges: downtime.

In mining, where operational downtime can carry significant financial consequences, concrete deterioration caused by abrasion and erosion can become much more than a maintenance issue. High-traffic areas exposed to heavy equipment, aggregate and continuous material movement require concrete capable of performing under extreme conditions.

The Canadian Mining Magazine feature explores how Hard-Cem provides a different approach to protecting these critical concrete assets. Added directly to the concrete mix, Hard-Cem increases the concrete’s resistance to abrasion and erosion throughout its full depth rather than relying on a surface treatment that can wear away over time.

This makes it particularly suited to demanding mining applications such as haul roads, ramps, loading areas, crusher facilities and other concrete infrastructure subjected to severe wear.

By extending concrete service life and reducing the frequency of repairs, Hard-Cem can help mines minimize maintenance-related interruptions and the operational costs associated with taking critical infrastructure out of service.

The article also highlights Kryton’s Hard-Cem ROI Calculator, which helps project teams evaluate the potential long-term financial benefits of incorporating Hard-Cem into their concrete.
