Cure Time and Temperature:
Cure for thickness up to ¼”
| Pressure, Saturated Steam (Autoclave) | 1 hr. @ 20psi 260°F (126°C) |
| Internal Steam Cure | 3 hrs. @ 20psi 260°F (126°C) |
| Atmosphere Steam Cure | 24 hrs. @ 190°F-205° (87°C-96°C) |
Note: All reference to cure psi represents gauge pressure.
**Cure times may require tunings 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
- SR654 lining shows acceptable rubber to metal adhesion with or without tie gum.
- 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.
- When plying up, the first layer can be installed with or without Tie Gum. The Tie Gum on subsequent layers is not necessary, therefore the top layer may be lapped with an open skive.
- 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. As long as those procedures fall within industry standard lining application guidelines.
