ABSTRACT
On many occasions, lining, coating, and paint terminologies are used interchangeably. Technically, linings and paints are both coatings. Usually, a coating is referred to as a lining when subjected to immersion, such as the interior of a vessel, and paints refer to protective materials used to guard against atmospheric corrosion. This chapter deals with coatings that are used to protect the interior of a vessel and will be subject to immersion.
