Corrosion Protection
Combating all kinds of severe corrosion has been a focus of Trelleborg's 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, in instances where these particles are in solid form or in suspension.
Offshore installations producing oil and gas have a great need for our protective coatings and linings in order that they can operate safely and continuously for the life of the fields (typically 20 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 chloprene layer added Cu/Ni 90/10 granules chemically bonded to the underlying Viking Rub-line rubber coating.
