Are Super-Slide plastic liners any different than other liners I can buy?
All Super-Slide products have unique formulas that set them apart from other liners on the market. Only Super-Slide UHMW liners contain silicone to give the already slick plastic an even better self-lubricating release. In addition, all of the Super-Slide products comes UV stabilized to prevent cracking from extended exposure to the sun. Each product is distinctively colored, Red, Blue, and White with a Blue Stripe, to be evidence that you have a one of a kind product.

- Load the rip-rap or demolition very carefully.
- Immediately, repair any punctures or holes in the liner.

What can I do to extend the life of my Super-Slide plastic liner?
Most importantly, make sure no material has become lodged under the liner. Foreign material under the liner will cause high spots causing faster wear and can eventually lead to weakspots in the liner. Also, check to make sure the coverstrips are not damaged to restrict the liners expansion. Occasionally, pressure wash the liner to keep film and residue build up to a minimum. Check regularly to identify and correct these problems as soon as possible.
