WORLD-FIRST ANTIMICROBIAL WATER TANK LINER

The multi-generational AQUALINER® fabric has been a mainstay of the Pioneer Water Tanks 30-year success story and legendary water-holding performance. The new fabric retains the Globally Patented Multi-layered PP/PE textile with a spun-woven multifilament polypropylene (PP) scrim construction (WO 2007/070917).

The use of antimicrobial protection in a tank liner is the world’s first use of this technology in this application, and our Australian manufacturer of the fabric has applied for an additional Patent to protect this innovation. The patent application has been accepted and its current status is “Patent Pending 2017902908”.

Pioneer has back to back exclusivity agreements with everyone in the liner fabric supply chain to ensure the exclusive supply of this product to Pioneer, and Pioneer is the only steel liner tank company in the world who has access to this technology for this application.

KEY CRITERIA OF THE AQUALINER® FRESH DESIGN

The AQUALINER® Fresh was designed with key criteria to be both long-lasting and the best suitable material for potable drinking water storage:

• Flexibility
• Abrasion-resistance
• Tear and tensile strength
• Chemical resistance
• Fabric Weight
• Shrink resistance/ stability
• Waterproofness

Often the features included in a tank liner addresses one of these criteria has a negative impact on other key criteria, e.g. to address abrasion resistance the fabric is made thicker, however, this harms the liner flexibility performance. As such the design of ideal liner fabric is a balance and compromise of all the solutions that address the key criteria above.

The AQUALINER® Fresh is Built Tough to Outlast Expectations

The Multifilament Polypropylene (PP) weave feature is specifically designed with Polyethylene (PE) film on both sides. This allows for excellent flexibility, high tensile strength, waterproof, good abrasion resistance, as a reliable water tank liner. The Black PE film is embedded with the Sanitized® antimicrobial technology which prevents bacterial/microbial growth.

DOUBLED WELDED SEAMS

The AQUALINER® Fresh exclusive waterproof Polyethylene (PE) film is laminated to BOTH sides of the liner. The Bartlett manufacturing seal tape is implemented on both sides of the seams using purpose-built welding equipment.

WEAVE LAYER IN THE TANK LINER

The weave base fabric allows the AQUALINER® Fresh liner to bridge gaps in the tank wall. This prevents wicking or weeping through fabric edges against the tank body. The double security of the liner remains watertight, even if one side is damaged.
