- Advantages
- Duro-Bond Hypalon has good electrical and heat resistance plus superior resistance to ozone and oxidizing chemicals. It is generally capable of resisting strong acid concentrations at elevated temperatures.
- Duro-Bond Hypalon may be applied to a variety of surfaces and in various thicknesses. Precured Hypalon lining does not require equipment for vulcanization. It can be used to line concrete tanks and trenches in which steam or hot air curing is impractical.
- Uncured Hypalon is applied while in the soft, unvulcanized state. It readily conforms to curved surfaces and can be easily applied to a wide variety of complex shaped equipment before it is vulcanized.

- Uses
Duro-Bond Hypalon is used as a lining material for resistance to chemical agents, heat, and abrasion. It is used for lining equipment such as concrete and steel tanks, agitators, shafts and troughs. It is used extensively in the handling and storage of waste acids.
- Application
The installation of Precured Duro-Bond Hypalon sheet lining is carried out in the following steps:
1. On metal surfaces sand or grit blast the areas to be lined to a gray-white metal. For concrete substrates acid washing is required in lieu of sand or grit blasting.
2. Apply one coat of adhesive primer cement immediately after blasting metal to prevent rusting. On concrete the primer should be applied after the acid washed surfaces are dry. Apply additional coat of primer cement, if necessary.
3. Apply required coats of intermediate or tie cement, allowing sufficient drying time so that the coat being applied does not lift up the preceding coat.
4. Edges of all sheets are skived at a 45o minimum angle from the top surface to the bottom of the sheet.
5. Apply the specified thickness of Duro-Bond Hypalon using the minimum number of sheets and splices consistent with good lining practice. Edges of sheets overlap approximately 2" unless restricted by dimensional tolerances. Lining sheets are washed with recommended solvent and allowed to dry before application. During application, sheets are rolled and all seams and corners carefully stitched to eliminate all trapped air between lining and cemented surfaces so there is full contact with all cemented areas.
The installation of Uncured Duro-Bond Hypalon sheet lining is described in the following steps:
1. The metal surfaces are sand or grit blasted to a gray-white metal.
2. One coat of primer is applied immediately after blasting metal to prevent rusting. Additional coats of primer are applied, if necessary.
3. The required coats of intermediate or tie cement are applied allowing sufficient drying time so that the coat being applied does not lift the preceding coat.
4. Edges of all sheets are skived at an angle from the top surface to the bottom of the sheet. A closed skive construction commonly known as down skive is used.
5. The Uncured Duro-Bond Hypalon sheet is wiped with the recommended solvent and allowed to dry before application. The sheet is then applied using the minimum number of seams consistent with good lining practice. Edges should overlap approximately 2" unless restricted by dimensional tolerances. During application, sheets are rolled and all seams and corners carefully stitched to eliminate all trapped air between lining and cemented surfaces.
6. Hot air is required to vulcanize Uncured Duro-Bond Hypalon to produce the required physical and chemical properties and adhesion to the metal substrate.
- Method of Testing
All lined surfaces are inspected for blisters, lifted edges at seams and surface defects. Any special dimensional tolerances required, after lining, are also checked. All areas are then spark tested for leaks using a dielectric spark tester adjusted to 5,000 volts. The tester is moved constantly and quickly over the lining surface to prevent a burn through.
- Repair Procedure
Most defects will be blisters between lining and substrate, blow holes where the lining is actually ruptured, small cracks in the lining or physical damage which may result in a scuffed or broken lining. In general, if such a defect occurs, the defective lining is removed to a point where firm adhesion to the substrate is found, a suitable repair made with the same or equivalent lining material (usually a precured sheet) and subsequently testing the repaired areas as described in "Method of Testing".

Technical Details & Test Data
- Service Temperature
The maximum temperature for which Duro-Bond Hypalon is recommended is 200° F (93°C). At elevated temperatures elastomers will harden and age prematurely, resulting in cracks and lining failure. It is sometimes desirable to provide thermal insulation, thereby increasing the service life of the lining. Corrosion resistant red shale or carbon brick are generally used for this purpose. One or more courses of brick bonded with one of the Electro Chemical corrosion resistant cements may be required to obtain the desired temperature reduction.
