Background video

The Corrosion Protection division combines HAW and GBT heritage in Germany — over 40 years of protecting critical industrial assets in the world's most aggressive chemical environments.

Rubber linings, plastic linings, coatings, and resin systems applied by teams who have been involved since the equipment design phase. Every lining specification is validated against the actual chemical exposure before application begins.

Four layers of defence

From rubber linings for the most aggressive acids to protective coatings for atmospheric exposure — complete corrosion protection under one roof.

Service 01

Rubber Linings

Soft and hard rubber lining systems for chemical resistance in the most aggressive environments. Autoclave and pressure cured.

Protection designed into the engineering

We don't just apply linings — we design equipment that's optimized for lining from the start. Nozzle orientation, weld access, surface geometry — every detail accounts for protection requirements.
