Rubber Lining

The purpose of rubber lining is to protect the vessels, tanks and piping against corrosion and/or erosion damage and increasing the life of their service

Rubber Lining is used in a variety of applications like the chemical, mining, fertilizer, electro-chemical, steel, transportation and environment sectors.

Using the most advanced technology, the linings are produced in different thicknesses to be used in a variety of industrial situations.

Applications of Rubber Lining :

• Piping & Fittings
• Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD) Systems
• Hoppers & Chutes
• Hydrochloric & Phosphoric Acid Tanks
• Clarifier/Thickener Tanks
• Ball Mills, Trommel Screens & Trunnion Liners
• Pumps & Pump Components
• Secondary Containment
• Purification Vessels
• Over-the-Road and Railroad Tankers
• Water/Wastewater Treatment Tanks
• Rake Arms & Agitators
• Hydrocyclones

Types of Rubber for Linings

Both the types of rubber- natural rubber and synthetic rubber- are used for making different varieties of rubber linings. The type of rubber depends upon the purpose and application of rubber lining.

• Natural Soft Rubber Linings
  Natural soft rubber linings are usually made from various types of poly soft rubber. These types of rubber have such characteristics as low hardness, high resilience, and flexibility. They are abrasion resistant linings capable of absorbing and repulsing the impact of abrasive forces of material handled. They are suitable for slurry tank lining, pipe lining, pump lining etc. Natural soft rubber linings are also used for pickling tanks, storage tanks resistance to hydrochloric acid and sulphuric solutions.
• Hard Rubber Linings
  Hard rubber linings are generally made from various types of poly hard rubber. They are chemical resistant linings with good flexibility and high impact resistance. Some of them are graphite based rubber linings having excellent chemical resistance at high temperatures and some others are exhaust steam vulcanized rubber linings that are suitable for lining vessels, which can’t be cured with pressurized steam. These various types of hard rubber linings are suitable for storage tanks, reactors, plants which use ion exchange membrane process, pipes at high operating temperatures etc.
• Synthetic Rubber Linings
  Various types of synthetic rubber like chloprene rubber, butyl rubber, and hypalon rubber are used for making these types of rubber lining.
