    Abstract: A process and composition for adhering a rubber compound to a fluoroplastic and/or to metal. The invention contemplates the use of separate, sequentially applied adhesive layers to the fluoroplastic or metal substrate. The last applied layer, a rubber cement, allows the metal or fluoroplastic to be adhered to the uncured rubber compound which is subsequently vulcanized. The invention finds particular utility in securing a fluoroplastic and a rubber lining to steel or other metallic surfaces. A typical use is the lining of the interior of a railroad tank car, providing protection from corrosive or hostile environments experienced when the tank car is transporting acids or other caustic materials. Other uses include the lining of chemical process vessels and piping.
