Pond liners are impermeable membranes which are used for retaining liquids in a confined area. They are usually made up of raw materials such as Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM), Butyl Rubber, Polyurea, Polyester as well as Polyethylene. Pond liners can be used for lining natural water bodies such as lakes, ponds, etc. Among the artificial water sources, liners are used for creating artificial ponds or lakes in gardens or even at homes in order to add elegance and beauty to the property.
PVC is been preferred over all types of raw materials and its demand is expected to stay steady for the next few years. PVC is cost effective and can be availed easily as well as can be installed without much hassles. The demand for polyethylene is expected to rise during the future, but may not exceed the demand of PVC since it is comparatively less resistant to corrosion and damage.
