Anticorrosion Protection as a Factor in Improving Industrial Safety at Mining Enterprises

The issue of reliable and safe operation of equipment, the use of technical devices and materials, the repair and renewal of fixed production assets is relevant. Corrosion processes have a very negative impact on the technical condition and safe operation of equipment, buildings and structures. The reasons for the increasing damage to the fixed production assets are their physical wear, poor quality of rolled stock, reinforced concrete and polymers, non-compliance with processing technology, neglect of the requirements of technical and regulatory documentation. The measures of increasing the service life of fixed production assets through the use of polymer-silicate protective coatings are proposed in this paper. As a result of studying the compositions with various contents of water-repellent and plasticizing additives, it was found that if the content of each of them is 3%, the duration of setting of the polymeric silicate coating increases 1.5 times. At the same time, mechanical strength and setting time remain the same. Also, an increase in the setting time is ensured by the prolonged high-speed mixing of the polymer-silicate mixture
