Is anyone familiar with or used these products? Given the long-term temperature concerns with using an EPDM liner for an unpressurized heat storage tank, do you think this would be a viable option? The temp ratings look good, but I take them somewhat with a grain of salt. My thought would be some kind of a wood-walled, insulated storage tank, constructed as tightly as possible and then lined with this product. http://www.sanitred.com/
What do you think?
 
I have no experience with the product but it appears to have the qualities that would make a great storage liner.

I looked all over for a product such as this last year but settled for an EPDM liner.

The liner was difficult to install in the tank and has a limited heat threshold. It has held the water with no leaks for 14 months now. It hasn't been exposed to high heat yet.

If I had known about Sani Tred last year, I think I would have used that product.
 
Looks like interesting stuff - might be worth contacting them to see what they say about a hydronic type application. Not sure if it would do well on bolt together type tanks, but it might be ideal for concrete / block wall tanks...
