Vortex Small Diameter Lining Systems: MaxLiner® Solutions

At Vortex Companies, we understand that small diameter lining projects require precision, versatility, and efficiency. Our MaxLiner brand leads the industry in providing comprehensive small diameter CIPP (Cured-in-Place Pipe) solutions, ensuring that no matter the complexity of the project — whether it involves lines that transition in size, navigate major bends, or face unique challenges — we have a liner and system to meet those needs.

MaxLiner offers a complete range of liners, from our robust Max SCRIM liners for straightforward applications to our ultra-flexible Max WovoGlass™ and Max WovoX® liners, designed for navigating multiple bends and diameter transitions. Coupled with advanced draining, cleaning, and installation equipment, MaxLiner ensures you have everything required for successful project completion.

Max SCRIM Liner

Non-woven, needle-punched polyester fiber felt with PU coating. There is a 100% continuous polyester reinforcement filament (SCRIM) integrated into the fabric to limit longitudinal stretch during installation. Ideal for straight shots, can be used around bends up to 45° PVC.

  • For landing the liner at a definitive point and straight piping applications.
  • Sweeping bends up to 45°
  • Open-End (Blindshot) with Calibration Tube
  • Closed-End
  • Manufactured transitional liners and custom sizes are available.
  • PVC Compatible with MaxPox VE

WovoGlass™

An ultra-flexible liner, uniquely bonded to a seamless impermeable PU coating. The circular-knitted construction of polyester and extensible fiberglass reinforcement makes it ideal for transitioning several pipe diameters and lining around multiple bends up to 90°.

  • Open-End (Blindshot) with Calibration Tube
  • Close-End
  • Pull-in-Place
  • Transitioning sizes/ change in several diameters
  • Multiple bends up to 90° 3x’s stronger than traditional lateral liners

Max WovoX®

An ultra-flexible, extensible liner bonded to a seamless impermeable PU coating. The circular-knitted construction of polyester and elastomeric yarns make it ideal for transitioning several diameters and lining around multiple bends up to 90°.

  • Open-End (Blindshot) with Calibration Tube
  • Close-End
  • Pull-in-Place
  • Transitioning sizes / change in several diameters
  • Multiple bends up to 90°

Max WovoLiner®
