Overview of Rubber Lined
Butterfly Valve
Rubber lined butterfly valves are designed for corrosion-resistant shutoff in low to medium pressure systems.
With 3–5 mm internal rubber lining (ebonite, EPDM or NBR), the valve protects the body from aggressive media such as sewage, seawater, and chemicals.
The soft sealing design ensures reliable bubble-tight performance, making it a cost-effective solution for water treatment, desalination, and general industrial applications.

Typical Applications
Widely used in corrosive, seawater and large diameter pipeline systems worldwide
Water Treatment Systems
Clean water, wastewater, and sludge handling. Ebonite lining resists abrasion and corrosion for long-term reliable service in municipal and industrial water systems.
Seawater & Desalination Plants
Cooling water, intake and discharge pipelines. Thick ebonite lining provides superior resistance to saltwater corrosion in coastal and offshore environments.
Chemical Processing
Mild corrosive media and liquid chemicals. Rubber lining acts as a full barrier between aggressive fluids and the valve body, extending service life significantly.
HVAC & Utility Systems
Cooling water and circulation pipelines. Low torque operation and bubble-tight sealing make it ideal for building services and district cooling networks.
Marine & Coastal Projects
Seawater transport and industrial water systems. Heavy-duty rubber lining withstands the harsh conditions of marine environments and coastal infrastructure.

Engineered for long-term corrosion resistance, reliable sealing, and cost-effective performance in demanding environments
Full Ebonite Lining for Maximum Corrosion Protection
Fully bonded ebonite lining (3–5 mm) forms a continuous barrier between the process media and the metal body, effectively preventing corrosion in sewage, seawater, and chemical applications.
Reliable Bubble-Tight Sealing Performance
Soft seat design ensures tight shutoff (ISO 5208 Rate A), suitable for applications where leakage control is critical.
Proven Lining Process with Strong Adhesion
Rubber lining applied on sandblasted surfaces (Sa 2.5) and vulcanized using controlled hot air or steam processes, ensuring strong adhesion and resistance to delamination.
Strict Quality Inspection for Lining Integrity
Each valve undergoes holiday (spark) test for pinholes, adhesion testing, and hardness verification (Shore D 75 ±5) to ensure lining reliability in corrosive environments.
Designed for Harsh Outdoor & Marine Conditions
External coating systems comply with C5 corrosivity category (EN ISO 12944), providing long-term protection in coastal and industrial environments.
Corrosion-Resistant Fasteners
All bolts, nuts, and fasteners are supplied in stainless steel 316L or duplex stainless steel for enhanced durability in aggressive environments.
Flexible Installation & Handling
Suitable for both horizontal and vertical installation, with lifting lugs designed for safe handling of large diameter valves.
Cost-Effective for Large Diameter Pipelines
Compared with high-performance or alloy valves, rubber lined butterfly valves provide a more economical solution for large-scale water and corrosive service systems.
