Different Types of Fire Water Tank Liners and Their Benefits

Fire water tank liners are an important part of fire water tank maintenance and safety. They protect the tank from corrosion and leaks, and they help to ensure that the water is clean and free of contaminants. 

There are a number of different types of fire water tank liners available, each with its own unique benefits. 

Polyethylene (PE) liners 

Polyethylene liners are the most common type of fire water tank liner. They are durable, watertight, and resistant to corrosion. PE liners are also relatively inexpensive and easy to install. 

Benefits of PE liners 

  • Durable and watertight 
  • Resistant to corrosion 
  • Relatively inexpensive 
  • Easy to install 

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) liners 

PVC liners are another popular type of fire water tank liner. They are less expensive than PE liners, but they are also less durable and not as resistant to corrosion. PVC liners are not recommended for use in fire water tanks that are exposed to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. 

Benefits of PVC liners 

  • Less expensive than PE liners 
  • Easy to install 

Ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) liners 

EPDM liners are a type of synthetic rubber liner that is highly resistant to UV radiation and ozone. They are also durable and watertight. However, EPDM liners can be more expensive than PE or PVC liners. 

Benefits of EPDM liners 

  • Highly resistant to UV radiation and ozone 
  • Durable and watertight 

Butyl rubber liners 

Butyl rubber liners are another type of synthetic rubber liner that is highly resistant to UV radiation and ozone. They are also durable and watertight. However, butyl rubber liners can be even more expensive than EPDM liners. 

Benefits of butyl rubber liners 

  • Highly resistant to UV radiation and ozone 
  • Durable and watertight 

Which fire water tank liner is right for you? 

The best type of fire water tank liner for you will depend on your specific needs and budget. If you are looking for a durable and affordable liner, PE is a good option. If you need a liner that is resistant to UV radiation and ozone, EPDM or butyl rubber are good options. 

It is important to note that all fire water tank liners should be installed by a qualified professional. This will ensure that the liner is properly installed and that it provides the best possible protection for your fire water tank.
