A corrosion inhibiting liner (16) for a pipe support (10) includes a flexible mat (18) containing spaced-apart slots (36); and a cylindrically-curved buffer (20) in tight engagement with the mat (18) in each slot (36), wherein the cylindrically-curved buffer (20) is made of a non-metallic, non-elastomer material that can withstand compressive strength of at least 8,000 psi, and has a friction coefficient less than 0.35. The slots (36) are dove-tail slots, and the greatest thickness of the mat (18) combined with a buffer (20) is less than three-fourths of an inch. The length of each buffer (20) is substantially the same, and is within the range of 1.5 inch to 24 inches.
