A Witt PVC drop in liner can be stored for many years before being put into service. Because we fold the liners as tightly as we can for shipping we don’t recommend storing the liner in its shipping container for more than 30 days.

Sometimes it may be necessary to double check the dimensions of drop in liner against the dimensions of the tank or containment area to be lined itself. With the liner unfolded nearby it is possible to measure the dimensions of the liner just as we would on our shop floor as part of the final quality inspection.

One of the features of a drop in liner is that the PVC liner is not bonded directly to the tank or substrate wall. Besides the benefits of not having to sand blast, do extensive prep work, install the liner yourself, no cure time, etc., by not being bonded there is a natural space between the liner and the tank wall that allows for easy leak detection versus a bonded liner or applied coating systems. There are several leak detection systems that are simple to install and very inexpensive to incorporate with your drop in liner.

Flexible PVC contains a phthalate oil plasticizer that makes the material flexible. Some of that plasticizer can sit on the surface of a flexible PVC liner. Some solutions that use tank liners in may be sensitive to this oil. In which case Witt Lining Systems recommends leaching the liner.

Unfortunately accidents happen. Accidents can happen to flexible PVC tank liners as well. Sometimes an operator can drop something sharp on a liner, or a liner can be unfolded when still cold, or something heavy with a sharp edge can be dragged across a floor liner, or a heater could burn a hole in a liner. No matter what the cause of the damage, one of the benefits to a Witt drop in PVC tank liner is that it can be quickly and easily repaired.
