Conventional carbon steel and other alloy materials used for pressure vessels and processing and storage tanks, frequently require linings that protect the metal against attack from corrosive solutions. When barriers to protect these vessels are being considered, natural and synthetic rubber linings are frequently chosen. Elastomeric material formulations can be tailored for practically every process and storage situation and survive in service for 20 yr or longer. This article describes the material properties of elastomeric lining materials and the criteria that should be used in specifying them.
