Corrosion protection
Combating all kinds of severe corrosion has been a focus of our business for more than 60 years. Rubber is chemically resistant to most corrosive liquids, gases, salt water, ozone and UV-light; all corrosive agents commonly encountered in the offshore sector. Anywhere steel is exposed to corrosion, it can be protected with a rubber lining.
Rubber has significant elasticity and strength, and as such it wears extremely well. It provides excellent protection for steel and other materials against sharp and abrasive particles whether these particles are in solid form or in suspension. Offshore installations producing oil and gas have a great need for protective coatings and linings so that they can operate safely and continuously for the life of the fields, up to 50 years.
Our anti-fouling system consists of either a Cu/Ni 90/10 sheet chemically bonded to the underlying Viking Rub-line rubber or a chloroprene layer added Cu/Ni 90/10 granules chemically bonded to the underlying Viking Rub-line rubber coating.
