Cure Time and Temperature
Cure for thickness up to ¼”
| Pressure, Saturated Steam (Autoclave) | 2 hrs. @ 275°F(135°C) |
| Internal Steam Cure | 6 hrs. @ (20 psi) 260°F (126°C) |
| Atmosphere Steam Cure | Gradually warm until reaching 160°F (71°C) and then increase to 190°F-205°F (87°C-96°C) for 24 hrs. |
Note: All reference to cure psi represents gauge pressure.
**Cure times may require tuning to compensate for low temperatures, heavy metal thicknesses, and other anomalies. Contact SRR Technical Department for recommendations on lining thicknesses over ¼”.
Storage
Ideal storage temperature is 50°F not to exceed 85°F and shelf life is 180 to 45 day range respectively.
Depending on storage conditions it may be possible to use rubber linings beyond shelf life. Please contact Salem-Republic Rubber Company for technical advisement before usage.

Application Suggestions
- Lining should be uniformly preheated to 120°F prior to applying for ease of installation, pre-shrinking, and eliminating possible bloom.
- For gauges greater than ¼” plying up to desired thickness is recommended using a 45°/135° butt splice with offset seams on all but the top layer.
- It is recommended that lining layers adhere to each other using SRCE962CR.
- Experienced applicators may have techniques which produce equal or superior results and by no means are SRR’s application suggestions meant to replace these proven techniques.
