In this episode, Michael Krauss, sales director at Knight Material Technologies, joins co-hosts Heather Allain and Marc Cook to discuss bonded lining systems and the materials considerations that influence long-term performance. Michael explains the different types of fabric backings, adhesives, and their ideal applications, while outlining best practices for installing bonded sheets and verifying bond integrity through pull-off testing and nondestructive evaluation methods. The conversation also highlights MTI research on cap strips and current work examining temperature ramp rates for bonded liners, offering practical insights for engineers and plant operators seeking to improve reliability and extend equipment life.
