Superior resistance to abrasion
Increased resistance to abrasion equals less downtime and thereby better operating results.

Metso Xresist™
Xresist is a high density, alumina ceramic bead-filled toughened
epoxy system designed for protecting equipment from wear and
abrasion caused by handling and processing particulate matter
in solid or slurry form.

Competitors Metso Xresist

(irregular bead)
Competitor products with
irregular beads wear unevenly
due to the concentrations of
crushed alumina. They also
create worm holes that cause
premature failure.
(spherical bead)
Xresist beads pack together
tighter, giving superior wear
resistance combined with the
re-inforced resin system and
absorb impact at a much
higher rate giving them a
higher tolerance to breaking
and cracking.
