I was looking at Slip Plate for a friend of mine when I saw this thread. He has a grain cart that has Slip Plate in the hopper bottom and side walls. He just purchased a fertilizer spreader and wants some to coat the bottom (below the conveyor chain) and hopper sides.
After a little searching I found this: <font color="blue"> Slip Plate </font> It must hold up pretty good to use in a coal car. Also found a site with a price. $$ Back in the early 80's part of my maintenance job was freeing frozen coal from coal car hoppers at the boiler house. Wished we'd have had some of this stuff then. Many times we'd run steam through an air hose with a wand to thaw those frozen boulders of coal so they would fall from the hopper. It'd get mighty cold walking on the unloading trestle all night thawing coal cars. I can still hear those vibrators too.
I expect if it works in a coal hopper it's pretty darn tough.
