History of RPE Liners at BTL
For many decades, high-density polyethylene (HDPE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and ethylene propylene diene terpolymer (EPDM) liner products ruled the marketplace. In the 1980’s, BTL recognized the need for a stronger material to replace these older liner products. Adapting the RPE material resulted in the BTL and PPL product lines. The BTL and PPL product lines are among the oldest RPE liners in the industry.- Nearly 1 billion square feet of RPE liners have been fabricated and installed by BTL Liners since the mid-late ‘80s
- PPL initially stood for polyethylene polyolefin liner
- The original PPL-24 liner was the first double scrim RPE liner ever made
