Choosing a rubber lining contractor is a crucial decision for asset protection. Yet many industrial teams are forced to evaluate rubber lining companies that appear similar on the surface.  The reality is that not all rubber lining companies are built the same, and...

Even the highest-performing rubber linings are not immune to degradation. Over time, chemical exposure, temperature fluctuations, and mechanical stress gradually weaken the material, creating vulnerabilities that aren’t always visible from the surface.  Without a...

In the rubber lining industry, buyers often assume that every contractor provides the same level of service. In reality, there’s a major difference between standard rubber lining services and a turnkey lining solution that manages the entire project from start to...

Industrial tanks operate under some of the harshest conditions in any facility. Between chemical attack, abrasion, high temperatures, and constant mechanical stress, tank surfaces can deteriorate quickly without the best protective system.  That’s why choosing between...

Industrial rubber linings are designed to protect tanks, pipes, and process equipment from the harshest operating conditions, including corrosive chemicals, abrasion, high temperatures, and constant mechanical stress.  But even the highest-quality lining materials can...

Rubber lining materials are known for their durability and chemical resistance, but not all compounds perform equally in cold weather. From outdoor storage tanks and pipelines to containment systems in cool climates, understanding how rubber lining behaves in chilly...

When it’s time to repair, re-line, or repurpose an industrial tank, one of the most critical steps is removing the existing rubber lining. While this may sound simple, the process can be delicate. Knowing how to remove rubber lining correctly is important in order to...

When industrial facilities plan for rubber lining installation, one of the most common questions is: how long will it take? Understanding the expected duration helps plants and maintenance teams schedule downtime, allocate resources, and minimize disruption to...

Industrial tanks, pipes, and vessels operate in harsh environments, handling corrosive chemicals, high temperatures, and abrasive materials daily. Even with durable construction, rubber linings can degrade over time. Recognizing early signs of wear is critical to...

In industrial environments and applications, every lining and coating must perform under extreme conditions. The quality of the protection often comes down to one critical factor: inspection. That’s where an NACE (National Association of Corrosion Engineers, now...

Rubber lining’s effectiveness isn’t just about the material itself; it’s about the way it’s applied to ensure it lasts. At US RUBBER, our rubber lining procedure is designed to deliver maximum durability and performance through a carefully controlled, step-by-step...

Industrial rubber lining is engineered to protect tanks, pipes, and process equipment from corrosion. Its internal performance is typically well accounted for, but external conditions like weather and climate can also affect its longevity.  From UV radiation and...

When it comes to protecting industrial tanks, you have options. Some facilities install rubber lining from day one to protect against corrosion or chemical attacks. Others look into lining later, when a tank starts showing signs of wear. Either way, one question...

In the mining industry, equipment isn’t just exposed to tough conditions—it’s under constant attack. Chutes, tanks, pipelines, and other systems face relentless wear from abrasive materials, high-impact rock loads, and fast-moving slurry that erodes surfaces from the...

Rubber linings protect industrial equipment against corrosion, abrasion, and chemical damage. They also protect storage tanks, pipes, or process vessels, extend equipment life, and keep operations running safely and smoothly. But even the most durable rubber lining...

Understanding durometer ratings is one of the most critical factors in selecting industrial rubber lining. A durometer measures the hardness of rubber, which directly impacts how well it performs under stress, resists abrasion, absorbs impact, and stands up to harsh...

When your equipment is exposed to harsh chemicals day in and day out, selecting the right rubber lining material is vital. The wrong choice can lead to premature failure, unplanned downtime, and costly repairs. The right material, on the other hand, can provide...
