Hudco Formula 4000

Ballistic Grade Aramid Fiber Reinforced

Wear Compound

For Quick Lasting Protection And Repair Of Equipment Worn By Abrasion

High-strength epoxy resins combined with alumina beads and silicon carbide give HUDCO Formula 4000 excellent wear-resistant characteristics and a low-friction surface. Originally designed by HUDCO for quick repairs in worn chutes, impact plates, slurry pumps and lines and other similar equipment, HUDCO Formula 4000 has many uses, in other areas because it adheres to both metallic and non-metallic surfaces.

Reinforced with Ballistic Grade Aramid Fiber

After 12 years of unequaled performance, HUDCO in 1994 reformulated Formula 4000 to include ballistic grade aramid fiber reinforcement in the polymer matrix. The addition of ballistic grade aramid fiber, one of the toughest materials in existence, has significantly improved the phenomenal properties of HUDCO Formula 4000. The unique concept of using ballistic grade aramid fiber to reinforce the matrix of HUDCO Formula 4000 demonstrates HUDCO's commitment to world class technology.
