Nine, commercially available, ambient cured, thin-film lining systems were evaluated for their tolerance to various levels of natural and artificially applied chloride contamination on steel substrates. The linings were tested by immersion in water or hydrocarbon/water at various temperatures for a duration of 13 and 6 months respectively. The tolerances to chloride were found to vary significantly among the linings. In addition, the maximum service temperatures of the linings were progressively reduced as the chloride levels increased.
