Our butyl rubber tank linings set the standard
by which all linings are judged
Available in standard irrigation or potable WRC drinking water quality grades and in a variety of thicknesses, our butyl rubber linings are so resistant to high-temperature variations, abrasion and UV light, that they outlast every other type of lining.
Heavier and more expensive than other linings, they pay for themselves by lasting for at least a decade, even in harsh climates.
