The choice of materials can significantly impact the outcome of any trenchless repair job. That’s why understanding the pros and cons of PVC liners vs. CIPP liners is so important. At Thermoform, we back our solutions with expert advice and ongoing support to help contractors deliver top-tier results.
Engineered for Safe Use and Seamless Application
Safety is at the core of everything we do. That’s why our PVC liners are designed with both contractor and environmental safety in mind. They require no chemical mixing and release no volatile organic compounds (VOCs), making them safe to install in tight or enclosed spaces. Even in chemically aggressive conditions—such as exposure to acids, alkalis, or corrosive substances—our liners remain stable and do not leach harmful compounds into surrounding ecosystems.
Built to Last and Perform
One key advantage of PVC liners is their self-securing design. Once expanded and cured, they maintain position without additional hardware, ensuring long-term stability. CIPP liners rely on external supports like stainless steel bands, which can eventually weaken or fail. This makes PVC liners a smarter, more dependable solution for enduring pipeline rehabilitation.
Designed for Quick Turnarounds and Optimal Results
Speed is essential in wastewater rehabilitation, and PVC liners deliver with a curing process that utilizes steam to dramatically reduce downtime. Once the required temperature is reached, curing is swift—often completed within a few short hours. In comparison, CIPP liners demand a longer, more complex process involving chemical preparation and extended cure times that can be heavily influenced by site conditions. With PVC, the path to restoration is significantly faster and more efficient.
