Hollow Plastic Ball Covers for Mining & Tailings Ponds
The challenge
- Evaporative loss of process water in arid mining regions
- Aggressive or low/high-pH process chemistry
- Irregular pond shapes that defeat fixed covers
- Dust and surface emissions
How Armor Ball® helps
Armor Ball® floats across process-water and tailings ponds of any geometry, cutting evaporation and limiting surface emissions. The UV-stabilized HDPE is inert to most industrial liquids across pH 2–13 and tolerates extreme temperatures, and the poured-on layer self-adjusts as levels change.

FAQ
Mining & Tailings Ponds — questions answered
Will the balls survive aggressive mining process chemistry?
Armor Ball® is molded from UV-stabilized HDPE that is inert to most industrial liquids across pH 2–13, making it suitable for many mining process-water and tailings applications. Request material certs and SDS to confirm compatibility with your specific chemistry.
Can a ball cover handle an irregularly shaped tailings pond?
Yes. Because the balls simply float and self-arrange, Armor Ball® conforms to any pond geometry and self-adjusts as the liquid level changes — no fitting or fabrication required.
