Substantial advances have been made in protective linings for steel shipping containers during the past ten years. These advances have resulted from research on lining materials, the improvement of application methods, and improved metal surface preparation before painting.

Factors affecting lining performance include such matters as metal surface conditions, chemical and physical characteristics of lining, and lining application and curing. Tests for linings and lined containers include product-resistance, coating continuity, lining thickness, reverse-impact resistance, and degree of cure. The types of lining materials available are also described. 5.4.3
