From Ice to Impact In mining operations, dozer undercarriage components are exposed to extreme impact, abrasion, and harsh ground conditions. Track shoes and ice lugs play a critical role in providing traction — especially in icy or winter conditions — but they wear quickly. A common challenge is that once the ice lugs wear down while the track pad remains in good condition, maintenance teams must weld new lugs to keep the machine running, which increases downtime, labor cost

Soft Materials for Tough Environments Mining operations are tough on equipment, but not all wear solutions perform equally. Certain rubber materials have been specifically engineered to withstand harsh mining environments. Through elastic deformation, rubber absorbs particle impact forces, while certain formulations provide strong cut and tear resistance for large, angular particles. ​ Advantages Absorbs impact through elastic deformation Strong resistance to abrasion, cuttin

Engineered for Maximum Wear Life In mining and and oil sands operations, slurry pumps and slurry valves are some of the most wear susceptible equipment in the industry. Constant contact with abrasive slurries, high velocity flow, and impact from solid particles result in rapid wear. Leading to frequent maintenance, costly downtime, and reduced productivity. ​ At Canadian Innovative Materials, our slurry pump and slurry valve components are engineered to deliver exceptional we

We had an excellent experience at CIM CONNECT 2026 in Vancouver! It was a valuable opportunity to reconnect with industry partners, meet new professionals, and showcase CIM’s advanced wear solutions for the mining and oil sands industries. Throughout the exhibition, we had many meaningful discussions around wear protection challenges, slurry applications, and innovative material technologies. We were excited to introduce our solutions including: • Tungsten Carbide Overlay (W

From June 11 to 13, our team was proud to participate in the 2025 Global Energy Show in Calgary, a three-day gathering of industry innovators, thought leaders, and forward- thinking organizations shaping the future of energy. From the moment the doors opened, the atmosphere was charged with excitement and possibility. We explored cutting-edge technologies, engaged in meaningful discussions, and strengthened connections with partners across the global energy ecosystem. A highl

We had a fantastic time at MINExpo 2024 in Las Vegas! It was a great opportunity to meet so many industry professionals, showcase our advanced materials, and discuss innovative solutions for the mining industry. The turnout was incredible, and we are grateful to everyone who stopped by our booth! Special thanks to all the attendees who engaged with us and took interest in our Titanium Carbide (TiC) + Chrome White Iron (CWI), Sintered TiC, Crack-Free CCO, and PTAWCO Technology
