Lining

Lining the inner surface of equipment, containers and pipelines with an anti-corrosion coating plays a crucial role in protecting against chemical attack and corrosion. This layer is used to protect the underlying material, such as metals or plastics, from the damaging effects of aggressive substances used in industrial processes.

The choice of lining materials depends on the specific requirements of the application. Typical materials for corrosion protection coatings are plastics such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) as well as glass fiber reinforced plastics (GRP) and epoxy resins. These materials offer high resistance to chemicals and can be adapted to the chemical conditions and temperatures to which they are exposed.

The lining process involves thorough preparation of the inner surface of the apparatus, tank or pipe by cleaning and degreasing. The corrosion protection layer is then applied by spraying, pouring or spinning to ensure a uniform and seamless coating. The thickness of the coating is determined according to the specific requirements of the application and the substances to be protected.

Once applied, the lining is tested for integrity and protection to ensure it meets the required standards. This can be done by mechanical tests, chemical resistance tests and visual inspections. A properly executed lining with an anti-corrosion coating contributes significantly to extending the service life of equipment, vessels and pipelines while reducing maintenance and repair costs in industrial applications.
