Hot Bonding

Process
Lining of vessels and pipes in raw rubber which is subsequently cured in an Autoclave or using open steam curing (Vessel acts as the autoclave).

Vulcanising the raw rubber produces a seamless lining eliminating adhesive joins associated with cold bonding.

Large capacity 9.6m x 2.0m Autoclave for vulcanised lining
