This invention relates to a process for providing a surface with a fire-proof and/or wear resistant lining, further referred to in this application as lining. In engineering it is common practice to apply a lining of a fireproof and/or wear-resistant material to a surface which is subjected to high temperatures and/or mechanical and/or chemical loads, such as the surfaces of vessels, vessel internals or pipe-work connecting vessels used in, for example, the cracking of petroleum products. A process to provide a surface with a fire-proof and/or wear resistant lining involving the following steps:a) mechanically fixing anchoring means to the surface, which anchoring means are pre-coated with a coating that melts at a temperature in the range from 40° C. to 100° C.;b) applying a lining material onto the surface provided with the anchoring means;c) curing the lining material to obtain a solid mass; andd) drying the lining, to a temperature at least sufficient to melt the coating on the anchoring means, to obtain a fire-proof and/or wear resistant lining.Anchoring means used in this process.
