Tanks, vessels, pipe, chutes — anywhere acid, caustic, or aggressive chemistry attacks bare steel. We install chemical-resistant rubber linings using compounds and cements from top US material suppliers. Installation methods tested across decades. Field installation or shop installation. The years of abuse our linings endure attest to the workmanship that our installers put into every job.
Process tanks. Storage vessels. Pickling tubs. Pipe runs. Chutes. Hoppers. Anywhere bare steel meets acid, caustic, or abrasive material — we line it with the right rubber for the service.
Compounds and cements sourced from the top US rubber material suppliers. We don't cut corners on the base material. The lining is only as good as the compound and the cement that bond it to the steel.
Many lining jobs can't come to the shop — they're installed in place at the customer's facility. Our field crews travel across the eastern and central US for on-site lining work. We bring the materials, the tools, and the experience.
Vessels small enough to ship come into our Memphis shop. We strip the existing lining (if any), prep the steel surface, install the new lining, cure it, and ship it back ready for service.
Our installers have been doing this work for decades. The cement and weld lines are where standard rubber linings fail — we use techniques tested across thousands of installations to prevent the predictable failure points.
Wherever standard steel surfaces can't survive the process chemistry, we line them. Chemical processing acid tanks. Pulp and paper bleach plant equipment. Mining slurry chutes. Food-grade applications with the right approved compounds.
The 7 base rubber families below cover most industrial lining service. Our team specifies the right base material, durometer, and cure for your specific chemistry, temperature, and abrasion profile. We can also work with any custom compound an engineer specs out — if your application requires something specific, we source it from top US material suppliers and install it. Download the spec sheets, then tell us which roll positions you're running and we'll recommend the right one — or build you a new formulation if none of these match your environment.
Chemical-resistant compound for tank and vessel lining applications with aggressive process chemistry.
Download Spec SheetSoft natural rubber for concentrated hydrochloric acid. Semi-hard natural rubber for diluted HCl. Cost-efficient with excellent abrasion and cut-and-gouge resistance. Not suited for oil or ozone exposure.
Synthetic rubber with similar molecular structure to natural rubber. Excellent abrasion resistance, fair cut/tear resistance. Like natural rubber, poor in oil and weather/ozone service.
Air-impermeable rubber that excels in chemical service. Bromobutyl for severe service conditions. Chlorobutyl for oxidizing solutions including hydrofluoric acid. High heat tolerance to 210°F+.
Excellent heat resistance, excellent weather and ozone resistance. Good chemical resistance, fair oil resistance. Peroxide cure or sulfur cure available depending on service profile.
Excellent oil resistance. Common in seawater service. Good resistance to weather, ozone, and heat. Available in white for food-grade applications. Satisfactory for general chemical service.
Excellent oil resistance — the right choice when hydrocarbon or oil content exceeds 200 ppm. Good resistance to chemicals, weather/ozone, and heat. Available in soft and semi-hard durometers.
Premium tier. Excellent oil, chemical, and heat resistance plus good weather/ozone resistance. Higher price point, longer service life, superior performance across multiple resistance categories.
If your application requires a compound not in the 7 base families above — a proprietary formulation, an alternative chemistry, a specific durometer or cure system — we work with whatever an engineer specifies. We source from the top US material suppliers and install with the same shop standards.
