Industrial Rubber and Specialty Lining Capabilities
US RUBBER & Specialty Applications specializes in rubber lining for tanks, vessels, piping, barges, agitators, and other specialty industrial items requiring corrosion and abrasion resistance in chemically aggressive environments. The company operates a full-service shop capable of autoclave curing, surface preparation, material fabrication, and NACE-compliant inspection. Its material systems are sourced directly from top-name rubber manufacturers, with selection based on temperature range, chemical exposure, and mechanical stress parameters. In addition to rubber lining, US RUBBER & Specialty Applications installs HDPE liners, polypropylene liners, and specialty coatings systems, all under the parent portfolio of US FUSION & Specialty Construction. The company previously performed rubber lining on the largest saltstone disposal units in the country at the Savannah River Site, with tanks measuring 43 feet tall, 375 feet in diameter, and 33 million gallons in volume.
At ILTA 2026, representatives from US RUBBER & Specialty Applications will be available at Booth 1842 to meet with terminal operators, project engineers, procurement teams, and facility managers seeking corrosion-resistant lining solutions for liquid storage and processing infrastructure. ILTA draws more than 4,500 industry professionals and is the largest event focused exclusively on the business and technology of liquid terminals.
“Liquid terminal operators face some of the most demanding corrosion challenges in industry: tanks and vessels exposed to aggressive chemicals, thermal cycling, and continuous service demand lining systems that perform without compromise. US RUBBER & Specialty Applications was built specifically to meet that standard, with in-house shop capabilities, certified field crews, and direct access to premium rubber lining materials. ILTA gives us the opportunity to connect directly with the terminal operators and facility engineers who need dependable, long-term solutions.”
