BTL Liners Receives Potable Grade NSF-61 Certification

July 08, 2015 – –

BTL Liners, a Prineville, Oregon, based company, has announced that their BTL and PPL polyethylene products are now potable NSF-61 certified. Potable grade is the highest rating a liner can receive, and means their liners are approved to be used to hold drinking water intended for human consumption. The process of certifying BTL’s products as NSF-61 compliant took about 6 months to complete. The certification is internationally recognized and assures that liners will not leach harmful substances such as plasticizers and dispersants, which are commonly used to make liners more flexible.

Hydroponics and aquaponics operations, as well as organic farmers, prefer to use potable water in all their processes both before and after harvest, to ensure that their products remain uncontaminated. BTL’s liners have always been fish and plant safe, but with this certification they feel their organic and hydroponics customers will be even more confident with BTL’s liners.

The NSF-61 certification means that BTL’s liners can now be used in a number of new applications. Mike Baron, president of BTL, has said the following regarding the certification: “We’re enthusiastic about the advantages our certification offers for a variety of water containment uses, from hydroponics and organic farmers to irrigation reservoirs. In fact, we’re already preparing to install our RPEL-30 as the primary liner in a large hydroponics and organic lettuce operation.”

To learn more about BTL’s newest certification, read their latest blog: BTL Potable Certification. The blog allows customers and interested parties to learn more about the certification and what it means, as well as the products available through the company. Although BTL works with many agricultural companies, their liners are also used for a variety of other applications, such as recreational ponds or lakes, oil, gas, and mining purposes, and for environmental purposes.

BTL Liners has been providing products and services for more than thirty years. They are recognized as a source for fast turnaround times on projects, especially those that require immediate attention. The company guarantees outstanding quality in every project, and they invite all new and current clients to view their website and blog for news and updates such as their recent certification.
