We import two different materials for the manufacture of
liners for tanks. Both the materials are exclusive to Steelfab
Water Solutions.
0.55 Potable Aquatex PV C
• thick PVC material
made especially for Australian and other harsh climatic
conditions;
• Tougher than any other PVC; stretches but is not prone to
shrinking as all soft compound ones are;
• Harder to puncture; and
• Can be repaired under water with a simple glue-on patch.
0.8 Duplex UV Stable PV C
• UV stable material used when the UV exposure is high or in
harsher environments. It is not for potable water;
• As a laminated product it is a very strong and hard wearing
material for Australian conditions.
• We have made and installed liners up to 20m in diameter
and 6m high. We have the ability to go to site to measure,
manufacture and install with a minimum of down time;
and
• With PVC theweld is the strongest part of our liner, not the
weakest like woven materials or HDPE/LDPE materials.
Why PVC?
PVC (poly Vinyl Chloride) is:
• 1.8 times the strength of HDPE/LDPE — our 0.55 is equivalent to 1.0mm material;
• Our 0.8 is equal to 1.5mm but as our material is so flexible it conforms to any shape or contour — no folds or creases to catch on equipment;
• PVC takes higher and lower temperatures than HDPE/LDPE;
• PVC is permanently repairable wet or dry without special tools or training;
• PVC is the only material that truly welds together. The weld penetrates right through the material, not just the top surfaces as with layered materials.
