Rubber offers two decisive benefits when it comes to heavy-duty corrosion protection: Being a soft rubber lining, it is flexible and conforms very well to structures that “live”. In addition, rubber linings are highly impervious and reliably protect against exposure to liquids and even gases. Steuler rubber linings offer optimal protection for steel constructions, such as vessels, pipes, process towers, and gas scrubbers and even concrete structures, such as those found in water treatment plants. They resist the chemical effects of acids, bases, salt solutions and water vapour – even at elevated temperatures and when subject to temperature fluctuations. These rubber linings can withstand mechanical loads, such as pressure and abrasion, within a defined range too.

SEAL AND PROTECT. WHEN EXPOSED TO HEAT, COLD AND PRESSURE.

Steuler produces and works with an extensive portfolio of materials and rubber grades. This means we always have the ideal materials for the requirements and applications in question:

• Long-lasting, reliable chemical, thermal and mechanical resistance and impermeability

• Specified thickness of the sealing membrane

• Non-stick properties and decontaminability

• Resistant to ageing, good crack-bridging properties

• Accurate, repeatable leak testing possible using high-voltage detection technique

OVERVIEW RUBBER LININGS

• Rubber linings for steel and concrete structures based on rubber: Butyle (IIR), bromobutyle (BIIR), chlorobutyel (CIIR), Chloroprene (CR), Hypalon (CSM), natural rubber (NR) and speciality grades

• Autoclave rubber linings Steuler can supply including the steel components too, if desired

• Self-vulcanising or pre-vulcanised, hot water varieties
