Inliner Technologies has advanced the science
of CIPP materials to provide its contractors
with the resources to install by inversion
techniques, as well as a
patented method of
pulling in and inflating
the product. The nonwoven
tubes used as the
backbone of the Inliner
process are carefully
engineered to minimize
any stretch during either
installation method,
while protecting the resin from washout and
contamination.
Inliner Technologies provides a host of
services to its licensed contractors, including
but not limited to engineering design, technical
support, national marketing, training,
research and development of new products
and existing process improvements. RS# 109
