Fluoropolymer linings and coatings are used in the transporation industry for handling shipment of corrosive products, ultra high purity chemicals, and also for handling combinations of corrosive chemicals as found in waste haulers. Transportation equipment such as tank trailers, sea containers, railcars and tote tanks are among the types of vessels being lined for these purposes.

Improvements in installation and application procedures, as well as material selection have led to the increased use of the fluoropolymers in transporation equipment.

This paper presents information on a type of procedure used for installation of fluoropolymer lining systems and fluoropolymer baked coatings in transportation equipment. Methods of making proper material selection, inspection of the installed system and repair procedures will also be discussed.
