20 Mil Reinforced Polyethylene Liner
Description
ModuTank, Inc.’s 20-mil reinforced polyethylene liner represents a sophisticated engineering solution for containment and protection. Manufactured using multiple layers of high-strength virgin polyethylene films, this liner is laminated with a specialized internal core designed to optimize durability and performance. The exterior layers are formulated with advanced UV inhibitors and thermal stabilizers to withstand prolonged outdoor exposure. The light-colored surface effectively reduces heat buildup and minimizes condensation on floating covers. Additionally, this material ensures superior dimensional stability across a wide spectrum of environmental conditions.
Between these robust polyethylene layers, a high-tenacity polyester scrim is integrated to significantly enhance tear resistance, puncture strength, and overall structural integrity. This scrim is engineered in a precisely balanced reinforcement pattern, providing uniform tensile strength in both machine and transverse directions. This grid-based reinforcement allows the liner to maintain its shape and performance standards throughout its entire service life, even when subjected to mechanical stresses.
This 20-mil reinforced construction is the ideal choice for projects demanding a cost-effective yet highly dependable containment solution. Its unique composition balances extreme ruggedness with a lightweight profile, ensuring the material remains exceptionally pliable for efficient, labor-saving installations in the field. This liner is specifically designed to provide consistent reliability for mid-term applications, and tank rentals, with a service life of up to five years. Whether utilized for secondary containment, temporary liquid storage, or as a protective cover, the material’s high resistance to environmental cracking and physical abrasions makes it a versatile asset for industrial, agricultural, and environmental sectors.
