Introduction to rubber lined pipe attributes

When working with industrial rubber, pipe size is never an issue. An innovative application process enables the rubber lining of pipes ranging from 3 inches in diameter to the largest sizes available. Here’s an overview of the key attributes of rubber lined pipes.

Soft Natural Rubber

Cost-Effective: Offers the lowest cost option for rubber linings.

Abrasion and Tear Resistance: Exhibits excellent resistance to abrasion and tearing.

Chemical Resistance: Provides good general resistance to chemicals.

Temperature Stability: Remains stable in cold weather and during rapid temperature changes.

Durometer Rating: Typically ranges from 40 to 60 durometer.

Composition: Made from pure gum-based materials.

Hard Natural Rubber

Moderate Cost: Offers a balance between performance and price.

Chemical Resistance: Provides excellent resistance to chemical permeation.

Heat Resistance: Withstands temperatures over 200°F.

Durability: Physically tough, ensuring longevity in demanding applications.

Durometer Rating: Typically ranges from 60 to 90 durometer.

Composition: Based on ebonite materials.

Chloroprene/Butyl/Hypalon Rubber

Higher Cost: More expensive compared to other rubber options.

Chemical Resistance: Delivers good to excellent resistance to chemical permeation.

Heat Resistance: Can withstand temperatures over 200°F.

Temperature Stability: Remains stable in cold weather and during rapid temperature fluctuations.

Oil Resistance: Specifically, Hypalon offers resistance to oil.

These attributes make rubber lined pipes an excellent choice for various industrial applications, providing durability, flexibility, and resistance to challenging conditions.
