AEF is part of the Avon Rubber group and specialises in flexible fabrications. Originally manufacturing skirts for hovercraft and air cushion vehicles, the company has expanded into other areas where high performance fabrication is needed.

Temporary Storage Tanks
Avon manufactures flexible storage tanks and bunds in both polyurethane and nitrile rubber. These range in size from 20 to 200,000 litres.

Polyurethane Tanks
Avon’s polyurethane tanks are well designed and manufactured to a high specification, giving excellent performance in a wide variety of conditions.  These tanks are “pillow” or “onion” shaped depending on size and are used by the military in all climates around the world. However, in extreme sunlight and high temperatures, it is advisable to check polyurethane tanks daily for signs of leakage.

Nitrile Tanks
These next generation nitrile tanks offer oustanding performance and longevity, particularly, even when filled with fuel and stored in conditions of extreme heat and sunlight. The specially formulated nitrile coated fabric has been designed to reduce wicking, preventing damp patches from appearing on the outside of the tank. Comprehensive tests have shown that nitrile tanks can last 6 times longer than polyurethane tanks without leaking. This gives military customers confidence in the product during extended deployments or repeated use. The nitrile material also offers much greater protection against nuclear, biological and chemical agents, allowing for safe storage of water whatever the threat.

New Products
Avon’s design team specialise in working with customers to develop new products. These include a new water purification system for the US military, which fits on the back of a Hummer. It has 3 tanks and can be easily constructed in theatre thanks to its novel design.
