Abstract

A multi-ply film has been developed that includes a biocide in at least one of the film layers. The multi-ply film with the biocide can be used to construct water containment facilities for drinking water, fish farms and industrial use and can be used as a covering for water tanks or equipment in environments that promote microbial growth. The biocide inhibits microbial growth at the surface of the film.
