White Paper - From Breakdown to Benchmark:
Best Practices in Wearing Compound Use for
Mining Maintenance

Unplanned downtime remains one of the costliest challenges in minerals processing, reaching over half a million USD per hour in some operations. As infrastructure ages and skilled labour becomes harder to source, maintenance teams are under mounting pressure to do more with less. But the solution isn’t just about fixing equipment, it’s a smarter, more strategic approach.

In partnership with the Competence Centre for Mining & Resources (CCMR) at the German-Australian Chamber of Industry and Commerce, Henkel presents an exclusive White Paper packed with practical insights, global case studies, and proven strategies to reduce wear, extend equipment life, and drive meaningful change.

From managing high-wear areas like chutes, belts, and cyclones to improving product selection and application techniques, this paper delivers field-tested guidance for building a proactive, high-performance maintenance culture.

Explore how innovation, training, and the right adhesive technologies can close knowledge gaps, boost reliability, and create a safer, more sustainable operation, site by site. Download the full White Paper and take the next step toward best-in-class maintenance.

Henkel partners with mining operations to deliver expert technical consultancy and customised maintenance training, helping to improve on-site safety, maximise equipment reliability, and reduce unplanned downtime and repair costs.

On-Site Training

Our LOCTITE® Surface Engineering Workshops provide hands-on training tailored to your plant’s specific equipment and maintenance challenges. Conducted on-site, these sessions include a facility walk-through, pre-training needs assessment, and practical application exercises to build your team’s skills in preventing common equipment failures.

Product Trials

Put our solutions to the test with a structured product trial at your site. Henkel’s technical experts will guide your team through correct application methods and monitor performance throughout the trial period to ensure optimal results. While lab testing is valuable, real-world trials are critical to validate the performance of wear protection products under actual operating conditions.
