Rubber Linings – Quality Assurance

Quality Assurance

When working with suppliers, you want to know their products are top rate and their services go above and beyond. Partnering with a quality team greatly improves your chances for success.

At Blair Rubber Co., our team works tirelessly to ensure that your rubber linings arrive on time and in spec. That’s why the largest chemical companies in the world specify Blair Rubber Co. – 35 years and counting.

Vertically Integrated

We believe in exceeding industry standards, with superior product quality and project turnaround. Blair Rubber Co. is vertically integrated from raw materials procurement through finished product.

By controlling the raw materials, mixing our own rubber compounds and monitoring inventory quantities, Blair Rubber Co. is able to deliver consistently reliable rubber linings faster than the competition.

Testing

Once our rubber lining is produced, it’s time to conduct quality checks. Certificates of quality are available upon request.

Standard quality assurance tests include:

  • Length, width, and thickness measurements of the rubber lining
  • Hardness of the cured product
  • Visual inspection of sample
  • Product order and construction plan verification

Product Selection Experts

Let Blair Rubber Co. help you select the optimal lining for your individual service conditions. Typically our discovery process begins with an inquiry from an approved applicator/partner who will provide details about the current lining, if any, vessel specifications, operating temperature and chemical service. Our job is to then recommend the lining that will perform best under the stated conditions.

Certain environments are more complex, such as those that contain multiple reactive chemicals. Our technical team can evaluate these conditions and select the best match for the intended service.

After determining the most practical lining, Blair Rubber Co. also analyzes secondary factors that impact product selection, such as the vessel configuration, operating temperatures and potential abrasion resistance requirements.

Installation Consulting

If errors occur during the rubber lining installation process, or a material defect is identified – Blair Rubber Co. is here to help. You can count on our team of experts to deliver a responsive solution – from on-site support to in-lab lining testing to help investigate failures. These are rare occurrences, but should they happen, the Blair team is here to make it right.
