PVC Anti Corrosion Liner
At Engineered Containment, we are committed to providing top-quality solutions for concrete protection, primarily through our high-density polyethylene (HDPE) anti-corrosion liners. While we specialize in HDPE liners (although for specific projects we may suggest polypropylene or other materials depending upon the project-specific requirements), it's important to understand the role of PVC anti-corrosion liners in the market and the current landscape.
What are PVC Anti-Corrosion Liners?
PVC (polyvinyl chloride) anti-corrosion liners are designed to protect concrete structures from the damaging effects of chemical exposure, corrosion, and mechanical wear. These liners were traditionally used in various applications, including wastewater treatment plants, chemical processing facilities, and other environments where concrete structures are exposed to harsh conditions.
Historical Context
Historically, companies like Ameron and KST Holland were prominent suppliers of PVC anti-corrosion liners. These companies provided solutions that were widely adopted to protect concrete structures. Since the early 2020’s there has been a substantial shift in the global market as KST Holland closed down their manufacturing operations, and Ameron was purchased by another company that shut down the T-Lock PVC Liner line.
Current Market Trends
In recent years, the market for concrete protection has evolved. While PVC liners were once the standard, advancements in materials science and changing industry preferences have led to a shift towards more durable and versatile solutions like HDPE liners. Here’s why:
Durability and Chemical Resistance: HDPE liners offer superior durability and chemical resistance compared to PVC. This makes them ideal for more demanding environments where long-term protection is critical.
Flexibility and Installation: HDPE liners are known for their flexibility, which can simplify installation and reduce labor costs. Their ability to adapt to various shapes and sizes of concrete structures makes them a preferred choice.
Environmental Considerations: HDPE is also more environmentally friendly compared to PVC. It has a lower environmental impact during production and is more easily recyclable.
The Transition to HDPE Liners
At Engineered Containment, we have embraced this shift by focusing on HDPE anti-corrosion liners. Our HDPE liners provide enhanced protection for concrete structures, ensuring longevity and reducing maintenance costs. We believe that this material offers the best combination of performance and value for our clients.
While PVC liners played a significant role in the past, the industry's move towards HDPE reflects a commitment to improved performance and sustainability. As the market continues to evolve, we remain dedicated to offering cutting-edge solutions that meet the highest standards of quality and reliability.
If you have any questions about our HDPE anti-corrosion liners or need guidance on selecting the best solution for your project (whether your project is in Los Angeles, California or Winnipeg Manitoba), our team at Engineered Containment is here to help. We pride ourselves on our expertise and are ready to assist you in achieving the best protection for your concrete structures.
