With the upgrading of work safety standards and equipment operation & maintenance requirements in chemical, metallurgical, power and other sectors, equipment aging and leakage caused by acid-base corrosion and material scouring have drawn growing attention. Featuring strong acid & alkali resistance, wear resistance and reliable sealing performance, anti-corrosion rubber linings are gradually replacing traditional protective coatings, and have become the standard inner-wall protection solution for industrial storage tanks, pipelines, reaction tanks and other equipment.
In chemical production, anti-corrosion linings made of butyl rubber, neoprene and other materials are bonded to equipment inner walls via cold bonding or vulcanization processes. They can withstand erosion from most acid, alkali and salt media, extend equipment service life by 3–5 times, and greatly cut downtime and maintenance costs.
In sewage treatment and environmental engineering, rubber linings deliver overall protection for sewage tanks and sedimentation tanks with excellent impermeability and microbial corrosion resistance. They prevent environmental pollution from sewage leakage, adapt to structural deformation of tank bodies, and resist cracking and peeling.
Besides, for working conditions like mineral processing, flue gas desulfurization and metallurgical pickling, wear-resistant rubber linings resist both chemical corrosion and particle scouring, making them ideal for scenarios with combined wear and corrosion such as chutes, hoppers and desulfurization pipelines.
Industry research shows that domestic market demand for anti-corrosion rubber linings is growing steadily. High-end lining materials for extreme conditions such as high temperature and strong oxidation are seeing a rising application share, and the industry is moving toward customization and higher adaptability.
