Rubber lining
Rubber linings
Robust protection of tanks, vessels and components against chemical, thermal and mechanical loads.
Industrial corrosion protection, before a small flaw causes a costly production shutdown.
Fischer Fix GmbH inspects, protects and repairs tanks, vessels, basins and industrial plants – in Switzerland, Italy, Austria, France and Germany, directly on site and with a personal contact, from the enquiry to the inspection report.
Starting situations
What situation is your plant in?
Planned inspection or emergency – Fischer Fix GmbH brings inspection and repair from a single source directly to your plant.
Planned turnaround or plant inspection
- Inspect existing rubber linings and coatings
- Detect invisible flaws early
- Document the condition in a traceable way
- Carry out the necessary repairs within the planned window
- Secure the next production period
Acute damage or leak
- Leaks, detachments and perforations
- Damaged protective layers
- Escaped or aggressive media
- Blistering in the rubber
- Repair options directly on site

Services
Four protection systems – one single contact
The system that protects your plant depends on the medium, temperature and load – not on the maximum possible effort.
Coating
Industrial coatings
Chemical-resistant interior coatings, precisely matched to the medium, temperature and load.
Lamit-GRP
Lamit-GRP linings
Multi-layer glass-fibre-reinforced protection systems for high chemical and mechanical resistance.
In detail
- Substrate blasted and re-laminated: 2 × 450 g GRP mat plus a finishing veil layer
- Additional Flake chemical protection layer, 2 sprayed coats
- Resistant Flake HT: dry up to 220 °C, in wet conditions up to 80 °C
Masonry
Acid-proof masonry
Acid-proof slab, brick and tile systems for high chemical and thermal loads.
In detail
- Refractory bricks protect the steel shell from heat (up to over 1,500 °C)
- Thermal insulation saves energy, resists acids, bases and abrasion
- Bricks individually replaceable – the tank is preserved
Plant inspection & Isotest
Detect damage before it is visible to the naked eye.
The inspection is carried out with an ISOTEST device from ELMED. An electrical test electrode (test brush) sweeps across the surface and reveals pores, cracks and flaws in the protection system that the eye cannot perceive.

References & Projects
Selected projects in industrial corrosion protection – they show how we inspect, protect and preserve plants. Concrete, traceable and focused on the right solution.
Challenge
- Stainless-steel tank with a highly aggressive medium – already showing pitting corrosion.
- Two large firms declined: substrate not suitable for coating.
- Available products only partially resistant.
Our solution
- Medium analysed in our own laboratory in Germany.
- Suitable, resistant protection system selected.
- Existing tank coated – instead of a costly rebuild.
Result
- Preserving the tank avoids major reinvestment and administrative processes
- No new purchase, no costly replacement.
- ~120 m² of surface · project volume ~CHF 150,000.
Repair instead of replace – a technically durable and economical solution.

Yes. Existing rubber linings and coatings can be inspected and, if necessary, repaired in a targeted way at the affected spots – a full replacement is often not needed.
