Alumina ceramic wear protection for the world's most abrasive industries
Our proprietary brand — alumina ceramic wear protection
Application-led alumina ceramic wear protection for abrasive handling and processing — tiles, pipes, composite panels, adhesives, impact composites and engineered-to-order parts. Each IC range is selected against your real wear mechanism, not by routine.
Six engineered ceramic wear ranges
From standard wear tiles to engineered-to-order cyclone liners, the IC ranges cover every wear mechanism in abrasive industry.
IC TILE
High-density alumina tiles engineered to line chutes, hoppers, bins, launders and any surface exposed to sliding or impact abrasion. Available in standard, weldable, interlocking and hex-mat formats, in 92%, 95% and 99% alumina grades.
IC PIPE
Ceramic-lined steel pipes, elbows and fittings.
IC FLEX
Rubber-ceramic composite wear panels.
IC BOND
Ceramic wear adhesives and fixing systems.
IC IMPACT
ZTA high-impact ceramic composites.
IC CUSTOM
Engineered-to-order ceramic wear parts.
Built for the most abrasive sectors
Each industry has its own wear signature. We engineer ceramic protection around your specific equipment and duty cycle.
Mining
Sliding and impact abrasion from hard ore, rock and sand in every stage of extraction, crushing, conveying and milling.
Cement & Aggregates
Severe abrasive wear from clinker, slag, limestone and hot dust across grinding, pyro-processing and conveying equipment.
Power Generation
Fly-ash abrasion and high temperatures in coal and biomass boilers, ash handling and flue-gas systems.
Steel & Metallurgy
Combination of thermal shock, impact and abrasion from slag, scale and hot burden in furnaces, casting and material handling.
Ports & Bulk Handling
High-volume sliding abrasion from coal, ore, grain and aggregates in ship loaders, grab buckets and transfer towers.
Chemical Processing
Corrosion-plus-abrasion in reactors, columns and piping handling catalysts, slurries and aggressive media.
From wear audit to installation support
Wear audit
Share your equipment, material handled, particle size, temperature and current wear life. We diagnose the dominant wear mechanism.
Material & design selection
We recommend the right alumina grade, tile format, fixing system and lining geometry for your application.
Manufacturing & delivery
Production follows the approved specification and drawings, with the agreed inspection, marking, packaging and installation documentation.
Installation support & follow-up
Installation guidance and post-installation follow-up to confirm performance and plan the next service interval.
Engineered wear protection, end to end
Four reasons plant teams specify Induscoat on their most abrasive equipment.
Engineered material selection
We match the right alumina grade — 92, 95 or 99 %, or ZTA — to your specific wear mechanism, particle size, temperature and impact load.
Application-based specification
Material, geometry and retention are selected from the wear mechanism, particle data, temperature, chemistry, impact and maintenance constraints.
Regional project access
Induscoat projects can be routed through the listed operators in Canada and Morocco and through the identified distribution partners. Availability and logistics are confirmed for each destination.
Technical support — audit to installation
The technical workflow covers wear data, material and geometry review, drawing confirmation, documentation and installation guidance. Scope and response timing are confirmed for each enquiry.

Request a quoteAnswers to common questions
Which alumina grade should I choose?+
Start with the wear mechanism, not the percentage alone. Review particle size and hardness, sliding or impact angle, velocity, temperature, chemistry, substrate movement, access and the cost of shutdown. A higher alumina percentage is not automatically the best lifecycle choice.
Alumina or AR steel?+
There is no universal winner. Alumina offers a very hard surface for sliding abrasion; AR steel is ductile, weldable and more tolerant of deformation and direct impact. Geometry, particle trajectory, temperature, support and repair method decide the choice.
How are tiles fixed?+
Three main methods: adhesive bonding with a high-performance ceramic epoxy (IC BOND), welding through weldable tiles with a steel-capped hole, and mechanical interlocking with dovetail tiles. Curved and irregular surfaces use hex mats on nylon mesh.
What is the lead time?+
Lead time depends on confirmed stock, quantity, ceramic grade, tooling, machining, steel fabrication, drawing approval, inspection and destination. The quotation states the applicable manufacturing and shipping lead times.
Do you make custom parts?+
Yes — IC CUSTOM covers cyclone and hydrocyclone liners, pump components, fan blade cladding, chute and hopper lining kits and any machined shape. Share your drawings and we confirm manufacturability, grade and lead time.
