POLYURETHANE
Flexible Membrane Liners
Secondary
Containment Applications In the petroleum business, underground and
above-ground fuel storage tanks number in the hundreds of thousands. State regulations
and insurance requirements are demanding that every one of those tanks be surrounded
by a second container. With the recommended system in many cases being a flexible
membrane excavation liner which is relatively low in cost, independent of
the main containment and able to withstand much of the ground movement which can
cause rigid containers to leak I the first place. And the same is true for the
miles of piping that lead to and from these underground storage sites. Throughout
industry, the above and below ground storage of process chemicals, maintenance
supplies, bulk chemicals, fertilizers and other "hazardous" substances
are also under mandate to be contained with both a primary and back-up systems
and POLYURETHANE flexible membrane liners are doing the job up and beyond the
standards set. POLYURETHANE is a flexible membrane liner primarily designed
for secondary containment of fuel. POLYURETHANE is extremely flexible, puncture
resistant and provides unusually good heat sealing characteristics. POLYURETHANE
is protected from ultraviolet degradation as well as the effect of underground
fungi. POLYURETHANE is strong and hydrolytically stable for years of service in
underground fuel and chemical applications. POLYURETHANE
