Keeping your equipment safe Our products are fabricated to help you store, transport, and protect equipment, vehicles and materials in the most demanding environments. Whether your mining is above ground (pit) or underground, it is very likely that curtains and covers are needed for containment and product/material protection. Griffolyn pallet covers and curtains are used for those instances. Griffolyn reusable reinforced plastic curtains are used to direct the airflow inside the mines. Dust, chemical odours and other particulates can be toxic and you want to provide your miners with as much protection as possible. Griffolyn has several grades of clear reinforced plastic which works well for the curtains/partitions.
There are different types of mining that require preparation. Equipment is an important part of the mining process. There are various plastics that can be used to cover equipment. A few of the most important qualities that plastics need to have for mining equipment include puncture resistance and durability. ●
