HDPE Pond Liner Raw Material VS PVC Pond Liner Raw Material

what is an HDPE pond liner? The HDPE pond liners’ main material is high-density polyethylene resin and some carbon black material. what is PVC pond liner? The PVC pond liner’s main material is Polyvinyl chloride.

PVC pond liners and HDPE pond liners have different mechanical and physical properties, and also field applicability.

So for different projects applications, the HDPE pond liners, and PVC pond liners are used too.

Here are the major differences between the HDPE pond liners and PVC pond liners.

HDPE is high-density polyethylene, a thermoplastic polymer based on petroleum, PVC, is polyvinyl chloride. if you live in tropical or hot climates, an HDPE pond liner is the better option for you.

Pond Liner Safety Differences

PVC (Polyvinyl chloride) pond liner is a synthetic material that’s available in many different formulations, many of the PVC pond liners include chemicals that are toxic to both fish and aquatic plants. The cheap PVC sheets that can be found at stores for construction, for example, generally contain chemicals designed to resist insect attacks and other sources of damage. Although some PVC pond liners are marketed as fish-safe, they still use plasticizers to maintain flexibility and can contain small amounts of arsenic and other toxins.

Our HDPE pond liners use 100% virgin high-density polyethylene pond liners raw material, and no recycled material, the pond liners do not have toxic material, and the high-density polyethylene pond liners material also make the drinking water pipe, it is very safe.

HDPE Pond Liner Price VS PVC Pond Liner Price 

The prices between PVC Pond liner and HDPE pond liners are different, for the same such as pond liner 500-micron thickness, and size, the PVC pond liner price is cheaper than HDPE pond liners price, but considering the service life and maintenance, the average cost of HDPE is much lower. In a word, a cheap pond liner is an HDPE pond liner.

If your ponds will last for long years, the HDPE pond liners are our first choice.

HDPE Pond Liner Installation VS PVC Pond Liner Installation

The HDPE pond liners are installed by the welding machines, like hot wedge machines, hot-air welding machines, and extrusion welding machines, there is an overlap of two-layer pond liners, to join the two liners together. The welding area has high properties, UV resistance too.

The PVC pond liners use glue to join together, which is not good for the hot weather area.
