Tank Lining and Tanking Materials and Services
 60m diameter underground reservoir |
Butyl Products Ltd. has over 40 years experience of supplying and installing tank linings and structure tanking. Contact us for information, proposals and a quotation for your project. Many structures require lining so that they can be used to store liquids. Some, like building basements require lining (tanking) to keep liquids out. Often tanks that have been in service for many years and have started to leak are refurbished by fitting a liner. |
Materials for Tank Lining
Tank linings must form to the exact shape of the structure but often have to be delivered to the enclosure through confined spaces so strong flexible materials are essential.
Liners are manufactured from the following materials.
Butyl and EPDM Rubber
Only vulcanisable materials are used so all liners can be supplied fully welded. Rubbers are suitable for water, most water soluble chemicals and acids. They are available both plain and nylon reinforced to suit a wide range of applications and suitable for operating temperatures from -30°C to +90°C.

Linings are also produced using polyethylene and polyurethane materials if other alternatives are not suitable. However, all liners produced by Butyl Products Ltd. are all-welded liners so only weldable geomembranes are used.

Special attention is paid to how and where the liners are fixed to the structures and how through liner pipes are sealed. |
