⑽ Rubber lined valve
Rubber is softer, so many valves are lined with rubber to improve the valve's corrosion resistance and sealing performance. With the different types of rubber, the corrosion resistance is quite different.

Therefore, the natural rubber is gradually replaced by synthetic rubber. The nitrile rubber in synthetic rubber has good oil resistance but is not resistant to strong solvents such as oxidizing acids, aromatics, lipids, ketones and ethers. The fluorine rubber has excellent corrosion resistance and can withstand various types of acids, alkalis, salt and petroleum products, Hydrocarbons, but less than the solvent resistance of fluoroplastic; polyether rubber can be used for water, oil, ammonia, alkali and other media.
