Insulating Rubber Linings For Electroplating Tanks

Insulating Rubber Linings For Electroplating Tanks

Rubber linings in electroplating tanks provide the dual benefit of protecting the steel tank from corrosion by the plating solution and of insulating the tank so that the electroplated coating does not build up on the tank walls instead of on the work. Anodising tanks and pickling tanks are commonly rubber lined to protect the tanks from corrosion; and vibratory finishing (deburring) machines are lined with abrasion resistant rubber to�protect the machine from being worn away by the finishing process. Similarly shot blasting rooms, cabinets, and shot recovery plant can all be rubber lined to prevent the shot blasting process from abrading the actual plant itself.
