• What is Rubber Lining?
Rubber lining is a process or method of applying corrosion protective rubber layers on outer surface or inner surface of tanks and pipes. Different type of rubber materials are used for different applications. Rubber lining is done by hand with the help of some equipment. It can be applied to different metal surfaces such as mild steel, stainless steel, cast iron and aluminum. The thickness of rubber lining may vary from 2mm to 50mm depending upon application.
• Which equipment can be rubber lined?
There are number of applications where rubber lining is used; water and wastewater treatment tanks, piping and fittings, purification vessels, fume and ducts, storage tanks, dosing tanks, clarifier and thickener tanks and pump components etc.
• Do I need linings or coatings in my system?
It depends on the chemical solution, temperature of service and the abrasive nature of the particles flowing through the system. Unicon will work with you to decide which abrasion and corrosion control system is appropriate for your individual processes.
• Can you line used or existing tanks/pipe that are already in service?
The condition or the interior substrate will determine the suitability of adding linings to existing tanks/pipe. Unicon can inspect your existing equipment to determine if you need newly fabrication and rubber lined systems. We also specialize in field services that may allow your systems to be refurbished.
• What is the best lining solution for my equipment?
A multitude of factors determine which lining solution is best for your application. Temperature, PH levels, flow velocity and particle size can all determine what type and thickness of material is recommended for your equipment.
• What is a fluoropolymer?
A fluoropolymer is a polymer that is made up of monomers that contain fluorine atoms. There are many types but the principal fluoropolymers used in the coatings that we apply are PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), FEP (fluorinated ethylene propylene) and PFA (perfluoralkoxy).
• What is the temperature range of PTFE coatings?
PTFE coatings can withstand maximum operating temperatures of 260⁰C and intermittent exposure (up to 30 minutes) of 285⁰C. PFA (perfluoralkoxy) has similar operating temperatures but FEP (fluorinated ethylene propylene) has a maximum operating temperature of 205⁰C. Minimum operating temperatures of PTFE, PFA and FEP coatings are well into the cryogenic range at around -195⁰C.
