Rubber lining for sulfuric acid

2006

I have some question,
We need to transport sulfuric acid by Iso Tank Container,
What kind of the rubber lining we can use?

Thanks & regards,

What are the maximum concentration and temperature of the sulfuric acid?
Will there be frequent and prolonged exposures?

Some suitable elastomers, best first:
1) Perfluoroelastomers: Chemraz®
2) Perfluoroelastomer: Kalrez®
3) Fluoroelastomer: Viton®
