Expert Insights
22 oz PVC liner handles petroleum products, oils, and most common chemicals. Operating range: -20°F to 150°F. For aggressive solvents or extreme temperatures, consider upgrading to Copolymer 2000.
Foam walls self-rise in seconds—simply unfold the berm and the closed-cell foam walls pop up automatically with no manual inflation or assembly. The 4-inch wall height provides 1196 gallons of sump capacity. EPA 40 CFR 264.175 requires secondary containment to hold 110% of the largest container; verify your stored volume against the 1196-gallon rating.
Cleaning: Flush with water and mild detergent after spills. Inspect seams quarterly. Patch kits available for field repairs. Store folded when not in use—foam walls retain their shape through repeated fold/unfold cycles.
