Our Experties

Flow Protection.
Inside and Out.

Since 1980, UMP has been South Africa's pioneer in urethane pipe lining technology. Our proprietary polyurethane formulations protect pipelines against abrasive slurries, corrosive chemicals, and extreme pressure delivering reliable performance across mining, industrial, and infrastructure applications.

Engineered for Pipeline Performance

Specialised Pipe Bends

Unlike traditional liners, UMP’s polyurethane pipe linings are monolithic and hydrolytically stable. They maintain integrity under temperature fluctuations, resist water hammer, and deliver proven performance in slurry transport, tailings transfer, mill reticulation, concentrate lines, and in-plant process piping.

Key benefits

  • Abrasion & Corrosion Resistance — Built to withstand the harshest slurries and chemical environments.
  • Smooth Flow & Reduced Blockages — Seamless monolithic linings with a low friction coefficient for improved throughput.
  • Extended Service Life — Minimise downtime, replacement cycles, and operating cost.
  • Custom Engineered — Tailored to your diameter, length, bend geometry, and application chemistry.
