FAQs

What standards are your linings made to?

Our water tank linings are tested to BS6920 standards and they are approved in line with the UK Water Regulations Advisory Scheme. They are completely safe for use in contact with potable water.

Because our butyl rubber and EPDM sheeting has a tight molecular structure, it is also extremely resistant to the transmission of liquids and vapour.

What materials do you use for water tank lining?

If your tank stores potable or drinking water, we offer a special butyl rubber lining which is approved in line with the UK Water Regulations Advisory Scheme.

Our water tank linings are:

• Impermeable: So they can offer a completely waterproof seal. They are also extremely resistant to the transmission of liquid or vapour, thanks to the tight molecular structure.
• Weather resistant: Both butyl rubber and EPDM are thoroughly tested to ensure they contain no plastics or additives that will evaporate over time. They also offer brilliant strength, even when exposed to excessive sunlight, radiation and cold.
• Elastic: Neither material will be impacted, even when stretched to up to 300% of its normal size.
• Durable: Both materials have excellent resistance to wear, tear, cracking and puncturing.
