4. SURFACE PREPARATION

All surfaces to be lined shall be blasted in accordance with SA 2.5 (SSPC-SP10) standard to ensure the
surface is clean and free from rusts and scale. Compressed air shall be delivered at nozzle pressure of 5
kg/cm2G. This shall be free of detrimental amounts of condensed water and oil. All surface dust,
residues and debris left on the surface after blast cleaning shall be removed. All surfaces to be lined
shall be maintained at a temperature of at least 3 Cel. degrees above the dew point or relative humidity
of less than 85% throughout the preparation and lining processes.

In particular take note of the following instructions:

a) Blast by metal or synthetic grit.

b) Compressed air used for blasting must be oil and condensate free. Provide suitable filters and
separators.

c) Do not blast surfaces when they are wet or when ambient conditions are not favourable ( surface
temperature less than 5°C above dew-point).

d) After blasting, brush metal surface by a clean, non metallic, brush (or blow air) to eliminate any trace
of grit and of foreign matter.

e) Check the blasted surface to detect eventual presence of oil, grease, dirt. In case remove them by a
solvent using clean brushes.

f) When touching blasted surfaces, use always clean gloves.

RUBBER LINING PROCEDURE

5. PRIMER COATING

After blasting is completed, the base adhesive primer will be applied to the surface to be lined. In
principle, the primer shall be applied to the blasted surface within 4 hours to prevent the oxidation of
steel surface.

5.1 Application of Primer Adhesive (Chemosil 256) on blasted surface

Apply a coat of Primer adhesive (refer to point 3) to blasted surface as soon as possible in order to avoid
oxidation of metal so making useless previous blasting.

Before application the adhesive must be carefully mixed.

Before application all edges and welds to be stripe coated with roller or brush (preferably brush) where
spraying is difficult.

6. APPLICATION OF RUBBER SHEET

After the application of adhesive is completed, rubber sheet of predetermined thickness shall be cut to
the shape of substrate and press sufficiently with hand rollers so as not to leave any air under the sheet.
Overlap joints shall be crossed with each other, and the edges of sheet shall be cut slantways to join
smoothly. Particular care shall be taken not to leave air at the respective corners and uneven portions.
The edge of rubber sheet to be joined will be skived with a proper gradient. The length of overlap will be
more than four times as long as the sheet thickness, but it will not exceed 30mm at any point.

6.1 Preparation of Sheet

Unroll the rubber sheet on a working table top zinc-shheted and suitable for connection to an heating
medium (ask for drawings or specifications if necessary).

Remove the P.E. protective film and cut the sheet to necessary shape and size.

By an appropriate knife cut the perimeter at approx 30 ° angle (angle between horizontal and chamfered
edge).
In case rubber lining material is not sufficiently plastic for application, heat up the working table to reach
approx. 40 °C at top surface.

Keep sheet warming up until reaching sufficient plasticity.

In case, after storage, rubber sheet shows some migration of components the rubber sheet must be
cleaned (by washing with solvent Cychlohexane) before application of the adhesive or of the lining.

Be sure that solvent is pure, not contaminated with grease or other impurities.

6.2 Lining Application

Be sure that Primer adhesive applied to metal surface has completed evaporation of solvents and apply
the Cover adhesive (refer to point 3).

Let dry for 10-15 minutes (at ambient temperature 20-25 °C).

RUBBER LINING PROCEDURE

Lay on metallic surface of the equipment to be lined the rubber sheet just prepared.
Make it adhere to metal by suitable rollers by moving from bottom to top of sheet and from center to
edges with the purpose to eliminate air bubbles under lining.

If necessary this operation can be carried on in presence of suitable source of heat so maintaining
rubber sheet under plastic conditions.

The edges of sheets must be overlapped (as per fig. 1 of directive VDI 2537/1967) and carefully rolled to
give continuity and best junction.

6.3 Inspection before vulcanisation

After complete lining has been applied, perform visual inspection and spark test as specified at
paragraph 8, points 1 and 3.

7. VULCANISATIOM OF THE LINING

AKORROS B 208 lining requires autoclave vulcanization.

Autoclave must be pressure steam type in any case the vulcanization pressure must be at least 3 bar
and temperature corresponding to 3 bar saturated steam and operated as per following cycle.

REMARK-1
Diagrams are referred to thickness of metal parts not exceeding 12 mm and thickness of lining not
exceeding 6 mm.

In case of high thickness of metal parts and/or of lining or of any other reason which could give the
suspect of non-uniformity of the warming rate, the timing of the diagrams must consequently be
increased in order to obtain an uniform rate of warming up of all the parts. Also the type and size of
autoclave and the characteristic of steam (flow, pressure) can change the performance of the
vulcanization process; therefore the curing diagrams must be checked with the specific type of
autoclave.

REMARK-2
Mentioned temperatures are referred to the instruments of measure and recording and are approx (a
tolerance of ± 5 °C is generally considered acceptable). A good uniformity of temperature can be
obtained by a correct setting of the valves of steam inlet and condensate discharge, specially the
discharge valve located in the high part of the autoclave (for steam autoclave vulcanization) or by
keeping slightly open the valves on all the nozzles (in case of pressure steam or hot water
vulcanization).
1. Introduce compressed air at ambient temperature reaching 2.5 bar.

2. Stop introducing air and start introducing steam in order to reach 70° C in 3 hours with pressure of
autoclave controlled between 2,5 - 3 bar.

3. Always following the diagram, reach 140° C in 2 hours with pressure at 3 bars constant.

4. Remain in at 140° C for 4 hours with constant pressure 3 bar.

RUBBER LINING PROCEDURE

5. Stop steam inlet and introduce compressed air, maintaining pressure controlled between 2,5 - 3 bar,
to achieve cooling in 2 hours minimum from 140° C to 70° C.
6. At this point discharge pressure to zero and open the autoclave.

8.INSPECTION

8.1 Visual Inspection

Check that lined surface does not show bubbles or cracks.

Check also that joints are properly performed with no detachments between edges.

8.2 High Voltage Spark Testing

This must be performed by checking the electrical insulation of the lining using a holiday detector and
before and after Vulcanising.
Test voltage shall be 5 kV per each millimeter of lining thickness.
The whole lined surface must be tested.

8.4.1 Test Method

8.4.1.1 Equipment

High Voltage Detector (Elcometer 236-DC Holiday Detector) An electronic device used to locate
discontinuities in a nonconductive protective coating/lining applied to a conductive substrate. The
detector generates a high DC voltage that is applied to the coating surface through a probe. In addition,
the detector is connected to the substrate via the high voltage return (earth) lead. When the probe is
 PROCEDURE PRS-RL-01
QUALITY PROCEDURE PAGE 6 of 8
REVISION 00
DATE 24.11.2014

RUBBER LINING PROCEDURE

passed over a coating/lining flaw, then the electrical circuit is completed and current flows from the probe
to the substrate. As a result audible and visual alarms are activated in the detector and a spark may be
produce at the flaw.

Right Angle Probe: Right angle probes ore most suitable for large, relatively flat, surface areas.

Circular Brush Probe: Circular brush probes are used to test internal pipe surfaces down to 38 mm (1-
1/2'') size

8.4.1.2 Procedure

- Sufficient drying or curing of the coating/lining shall be allowed prior to conducting a holiday test. The
length of time required shall be obtained from the coating/lining manufacturer. Solvents retained in the
coating/lining film could produce erroneous results, as well as a fire hazard.

- The surface shall be clean, dry, and free of oil, dirt and other contaminates.

-The thickness of the coating/lining shall be measured with a nondestructive dry film thickness gauge.

-The high-voltage spark tester shall be calibrated in accordance with this procedure Sec. 8.3.1.4

- Adjust the test instrument to the proper voltage for the coating/lining thickness being tested. In
selecting the inspection voltage, it is important to provide sufficient voltage to break the air gap that
exists at the holiday. The air gap will vary depending on the total applied film thickness. The voltage
required to break a given air gap may also vary due to atmospheric conditions such as relative humidity.
Ensure that the voltage is high enough to break the air gap equivalent to the highest coating/lining film
thickness by separating the exploring electrode from the bare metal substrate using a nonconductive
spacer equal to the maximum coating/lining thickness. The voltage is set high enough to conduct the
holiday test only if the spark will jump the gap formed by the spacer. Excessive voltage may produce a
holiday in the coating film/lining. The maximum voltage for the applied coating/lining shall be obtained
from this procedure.

- Attach ground wire from the instrument ground output terminal to the metal substrate and ensure
positive electrical contact.

- Contact shall be made with the exploring electrode on the conductive substrate to verify that the tester
is properly grounded. This test shall be conducted periodically during the testing of the coating/lining.

Place the probe on the test surface. Keep the probe in contact with the surface and move it over the
work area at a speed of approximately one meter every four seconds, 0,25m/s using a single pass.
Moisture on the coating/lining surface may cause erroneous indications. If moisture exists, remove or
allow to dry before conducting test.

The presence of one or more of the following indicates that there is a flaw in the coating/lining:

A spark between the probe and the surface

Alarm flashes
The audible alarm sounds
The output voltage, indicated on the LCD display, drops substantially
The probe neon indicator glows.

RUBBER LINING PROCEDURE

The probe should always touch the surface. Gaps between the probe and coating/lining can result in
genuine flaws not being detected.

Discontinuities that require repair shall be identified with a marker that is compatible with the repair
coating/lining or one that is easily removed in accordance with this procedure Sec.9.1

8.3 Flatness Check

All flat surfaces shall be checked (especially flanges) for flatness. Cutting and leveling/flatness grinds
shall be applied if needed.

9.REPAIR
9.1 Procedure

After testing is completed, all pinholes and other lining defects will be repaired in accordance with the
following procedure;

9.1.1 The defect will be cut off with knife and prepared with grinder.
9.1.2 The surface of metal and rubber will be buffed with grinder.
9.1.3 The surface of the buffed metal and rubber will be cleaned with solvent.
9.1.4 Application of adhesives:
- The primer will be applied over the metal surfaces.
- The second coat and rubber adhesive will be applied over the metal and rubber surfaces.
9.1.5 The repairing rubber sheet will be cleaned with solvent.

under the sheets.
9.1.7 Curing: Repaired parts will be cured with steam. Cover the repaired Parts with suitable sheets
and introduce open steam gradually.
9.1.8 The tests shall be reported.

9.2 Holiday testing of Repaired Area

9.2.1 Sufficient drying or curing of the repair coating/lining shall be allowed prior to retesting. The
length of time required for drying or curing shall be obtained from the coating/lining manufacturer.

9.2.2 The test shall be conducted following the procedures previously outlined in this procedure
Sec.8.3.1.2.

9.2.3 Only those areas that have been repaired shall be retested, unless otherwise specified.

Technical Information Chemosil NL 256

Elastomer Bonding Agent

Composition
Polymers and heat reactive components in an organic solvent system.

Description:

Chemosil NL 256, the lead-free version of Chemosil 256, is a versatile, heat activated
bonding-agent, which will bond a variety of rubber-compounds to metal and plastic
substrates.

It can be used as a single coat in many applications, but in combination with appropriate
metal-primers, e.g. Chemosil 211, the in-service environmental resistance of the final
bonding can be very much improved.

Chemosil NL 256 bonds elastomer-compounds based on natural rubber (NR), butadiene-

(BR), isoprene- (IR), styrene-butadiene- (SBR), nitrile- (NBR), epichlorohydrin- (ECO),
chloroprene (CR), ethylene-propylene- (EPDM) and butyl- (IIR) rubber to most metals,
alloys and rigid plastic-substrates.

The bonding is established during the vulcanisation-process of the rubber using cure-
temperatures typically between 130 and 180 °C. The bond exhibits good resistance
against heat, oil and aggressive media.

 Processing:

A properly prepared substrate surface is essential to achieve consistent elastomer bond

performance. All oil, grease and other soluble contamination should be removed by
solvent degreasing or alkaline cleaning. Rust, scale and other non-soluble contaminant
should be removed by mechanical or chemical methods. Grit blasting is the most
commonly used mechanical method. A second degreasing stage after the mechanical
treatment is strongly recommended to remove residual grease, oil and abraded dusts.
Chemical treatments for ferrous substrates usually involve the use of phosphatising
agents. Full details of the special chemical treatments required for non-ferrous and
plastic substrates are given in the information sheet, 'Preparation of substrates for
Chemosil bonding'.
Chemosil NL 256 contains dispersed solids and must be thoroughly stirred before and at
frequent intervals during use. Chemosil NL 256 can be applied undiluted by brush or
roller coating or by spray or dip techniques.
For a recommended dry-layer-thickness of ~ 20 micrometer the following dilution is
recommended:

• Brush/roller : undiluted
• Dip : up to 10 % xylene or toluene
• Spray : 40 - 80 % xylene or toluene (4 mm cup 15-22 sec., air-pressure
3-4 bar, nozzle-∅1-2mm, distance ∼ 50 cm)

Dilution will accelerate settling, maintain sufficient agitation to ensure product

uniformity. A thin, uniform coating gives best results, avoid applying thick coats which
can give poor drying and may lead to film displacement during moulding.
At ambient temperature allow 30 minutes drying time after coating. Elevated
temperatures (up to 90°C) in hot air ovens or drying tunnels will reduce the drying time
required. Chemosil NL 256 will dry to a hard, non-tacky film.
Coated components can be stacked or loaded into bins for transport and storage. Clean
cotton gloves should be worn when handling. Coated components can be stored for up to
3 months before bonding without adversely affecting the bond performance. Coated
components should be protected from dust, moisture and other contamination during
storage.

Preliminary activities
In case the lining has been in contact with chemicals, a careful cleaning is required in
order to remove them completely.
This procedure must be performed with particular care.
Otherwise, a not correct cleaning could compromise the adhesion of the repair.
Prior to lining repair the substrate must be checked and, in necessary, repaired.
In case a welding is required, pay attention to remove, by grinding, the existing lining for a
distance of approx 150 mm for the weld area.
This is important in order to avoid burning of the lining.

Substrate preparation
Remove, by grinding, damaged lining up to the metal or bonded lining.
For better adhesion of mastic, smooth edges at the periphery of repair surface preparing
chamfer.
Clean and degrease carefully the surfaces where mastic is to be applied.

Mastic preparation
Choose the type of mastic to be used in relation to the hard rubber lining to be repaired:

− "NEW PIN-UP®" mastic for standard hard rubber linings

− "NEW PIN-UP® graphited" mastic for graphited hard rubber linings

Prepare the quantity of mastic necessary for the repair mixing carefully, on a clean
surface, 4 parts of component "A" and 1 part of component "B".

Perform the mixing by a spatula.

The mastic tends to solidificate at a temperature below 10° C with no deterioration of its
properties.

Before use bring mastic cans into a warm ambient so that its temperature can reach
20°-25° C.
When ambient conditions are particularly cold, it is possible to help proper mixing by
slightly warming up during preparation.

Remark
While each component "A" e "B", separately, has a pot-life of 2 years (on the cans it is
indicated the expiry date), the mixture of the two component "A" e "B" has a very short pot-
life, approx 30 minutes at the temperature of 20° / 25° C.
Therefore it is convenient to prepare an amount of mastic just enough for the repair, so
avoiding wastage of material.
Mixtures even partially hardened are no more useful.
Keep mastic carefully sealed after use.
In case it is necessary to use the components beyond the date of expiration, verify the
suitability, by mixing the two components and monitoring that after approx 7 / 8 hours the
product is hardened. This allows to extend of 6 months the pot-life of the product.

Application
Apply the mixed mastic on the surface to be repaired by means of a spatula acting a slight
pressure, in order to avoid air bubbles under the product and to improve the adhesion of
repair material to the substrate.

When large or thick surfaces are to be repaired, it is advisable to apply the mastic in two
layers (applying the second layer after hardening of the first one).

After the application, let mastic harden for at least 6 / 7 hours.

Remark
During the application, the temperature of the part to be repaired has to be at least 18° C;
this temperature has to be maintained until final catalization has been achieved.
In case a fast hardening is required, the applied compound can be locally warmed by a hot
air blower.
Cleaning of mastic not yet hardened on the tools can be performed by solvent.

Finishing
If necessary mastic repair can be machined by means of grinding machine after
hardening.

Inspection
Check result of repair by means of high-frequency spark tester, using the same tension of
original lining.
Make sure that no discontinuities or porosities are present.

Remark
If possible, equipment repaired should be kept out of service for at least 24 hours.

Cleaning of mastic not yet hardened on the tools can be performed by solvent.

Finishing
If necessary mastic repair can be machined by means of grinding machine after
hardening.

Inspection
Check result of repair by means of high-frequency spark tester, using the same tension of
original lining.
Make sure that no discontinuities or porosities are present.

Remark
If possible, equipment repaired should be kept out of service for at least 24 hours.
