Hello Lorigay,

Are you referring to Polybutylene? 

Thanks,

Bobbie7

Lorigay --

Polybutylene is indeed used as a reservoir liner, but because it's
manufactured in narrow widths it's only used commercially in smaller
applications.

Commercial firms with large reservoirs prefer using polyethylene or
polypropylene for large applications.  Here are a couple of
references, one in the U.K. and the 2nd in the U.S.:
Geosynthetic Technology Ltd.
"Liners for Golf Course Lakes, Ponds & Reservoirs"
http://www.geosynthetic.co.uk/golf.htm

GeoChem, Inc.
"Geomembrane Products"
http://www.geocheminc.com/geomembranes.htm

Polybutylene sheet suppliers are listed for the U.K. here:
British Plastics & Rubber Online
"Semifinished plastics film/sheet"
http://www.polymer-age.co.uk/directry/category/7785.htm

Polybutylene is sometimes referred to as PBT, the acronym for the full
name of the chemical.  Suppliers in the U.S. are listed here:
MatWeb
"Polyester Manufacturers"

Google search strategy:
reservoirs + liners
polybutylene + suppliers
