RPE (Reinforced Polyethylene) liners are often preferred for algae farming over EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) or PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) liners due to their durability, cost-effectiveness, and resistance to environmental factors. RPE liners are more resistant to UV degradation, punctures, and chemical exposure compared to PVC, which can become brittle over time when exposed to UV rays.
While EPDM liners are highly flexible and resistant to temperature extremes, RPE liners are typically more robust and can withstand greater physical stress, making them better suited for large-scale algae farming operations. RPE also tends to be more affordable than both EPDM and PVC, making it a more budget-friendly option for covering large pond areas.
