Our advantage!
The most important for the rehabilitation of potable water pipes is the
The US American drinking water hygiene approval NSF / ANSI 61 recently became
available for the SAERTEX LINER® H2O!
The preparation of the production in Saerbeck for the SAERTEX-LINER® H2O has
currently started. SOP probably January 2016.

Storage of the liner in temperaturecontrolled conditions. Product can be stored
up to 6 months. No time constraints during
installation – You determine the time
schedule – not the liner!
