A mine support includes an elongate metal member and a coating comprising
post-consumer recycled thermoplastic disposed on the member. The
thermoplastic may include post-consumer recycled poly(ethylene
terephthalate), and the coating may be an injection molded coating. A
first layer of the coating may be provided with a thickness at least
about 0.1 mm and a crystallinity between about 16% and about 30%, and a
second layer of the coating may be provided with a thickness at least
about 0.1 mm and a crystallinity between about 6% and about 14%. Either
the first layer or second layer may contact the elongate metal member.
