Rubber Lining for Tanks & Vessels
Rubber Lining for Tanks & Vessels
Tanks and vessels often face a double threat: abrasion from slurry or solids, and chemical attack from aggressive process environments. Rubber lining provides a protective barrier that helps prevent corrosion, contamination, and premature asset failure.
Typical Tank & Vessel Applications
- Process tanks and mixing tanks
- Sumps and containment areas
- Thickener components and launders
- Chemical storage and wash-down systems
- Vessels exposed to slurry service
- General corrosion and abrasion protection
Compound selection matters here. Chemical exposure, temperature and cleaning regimes can affect long-term performance.
What Drives the Specification
Chemical Environment
Acids, alkalis, solvents and cleaning chemicals influence compound selection and bonding systems.
Temperature
Higher temperatures can limit compound options and impact adhesive performance.
Abrasion & Solids
Slurry density, solids content and agitation can accelerate wear in predictable zones.
If you can share SDS information (where relevant), process descriptions, and photos of wear patterns, we can advise a practical lining approach.
FAQs
Is rubber lining suitable for chemical exposure?
It can be, depending on the chemical, concentration and temperature. Compound selection is the key variable, not just thickness.
Can rubber lining prevent corrosion under the lining?
Correct surface preparation and bonding are critical. A properly installed lining reduces the risk of under-film corrosion by isolating the substrate from the environment.
Do you also handle repair work?
Yes. We can assess existing linings, identify failure points and recommend targeted repairs or a full re-line scope.
