Hypaflex®Liners & Covers – When Durability Matters Most
Hypaflex® (formerly Hypalon®, chlorosulfonated polyethylene) is the most durable flexible pond liner/cover material yet developed. Field installations and accelerated aging tests by Burke Environmental Products, the leading pond liner/cover manufacturer, have demonstrated that Hypaflex liners and covers have an extremely long service life under most conditions. So, for the most demanding liner/cover Jobs, or where other liners or covers failed, Hypaflex from Burke is the answer.
Product Benefits
Warranted Weather Resistance
Hypaflex synthetic rubber—regardless of color—will resist the elements better than any known material currently used for liners or covers. It is exceptionally resistant to oxidation and is virtually immune to ozone and ultraviolet light.
Chemical Resistance
Compounds of Hypaflex resist a wide range of organic and inorganic chemicals. Hypaflex has, for many years, proved to be suitable for the containment of a large variety of industrial wastes.
Low Temperature
Compounds of Hypaflex retain their flexibility at low temperatures. Repeated cycles of freezing and thawing do not cause mechanical damage, even under tension. Hypaflex can be compounded in white and attractive light colors without sacrificing its desirable properties. Colored products of Hypaflex have been weathered outdoors for many years with minimal fading or discoloration.
Construction
Hypaflex pond liners are made from a special polymer that is compounded, fabricated, and installed in a thermoplastic state. Under controlled conditions, factory seam fabrication is done by a precise combination of heat and pressure. Field seaming uses a bodied solvent adhesive following a pre-wash to give equally reliable results under the varying weather conditions encountered during installation. After installation, a surface cross-linking develops, producing a stronger, tougher, and more weatherable liner.
