CORROSION‐RESISTANT COATINGS: Natural, Chlorinated and Synthetic Rubber

Abstract

One of the most versatile weapons which the corrosion engineer has at his disposal in his constant war against corrosion is rubber. Both natural and synthetic rubber sheet linings have been used for many years for the protection of tanks and chemical plant, and rubber has also entered the field of acid‐resisting cements in the form of the rubber latex‐hydraulic cement compounds. Both of these techniques have been described in previous issues of this journal, but the fact remains that one of the commonest methods of preventing corrosion is by the application of a protective coating of only a few thousandths of an inch thickness and here again the rubbers play an important part.
