Anticorrosive rubber/acid

It has been estimated that the consumption of rubber in ebonite products increased on an average of about 6% a year until 1951 when different plastics appeared in the market as competitive materials [6]. But because of the superiority of ebonites in acid and chlorine duties, it still maintains its place in the process industries as a material of construction as evidenced by its increased use in anticorrosive lining of chemical process vessels and tanks for the process industries and rolls for steel and textile and paper and pulp industries.
