Linings for containers for handling corrosive chemicals and the method of preparing said containers

摘要

A flexible corrosion-resistant lining structure for a container suitable for the handling of corrosive fluids and a method of preparing the container. The lining structure includes a base lining attached to the inwardly facing surface of the container and a protective cover of rubbery polymeric material attached only to that portion of the inwardly facing surface of the lining which confronts the corrosive substances in the vapor zone of the container. The cover includes an inwardly facing layer having resistance to cracking caused by the corrosive substances in the vapor zone. The invention is particularly useful for tanks containing hydrochloric acid.
