Geomembrane Introduction
HDPE Geomembrane
HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) is the most widely used geomembrane and is the preferred choice for lining projects due to its durability, strong UV resistance and relatively inexpensive material cost.
HDPE geomembranes are often selected for use in exposed applications such as landfill, reservoir covers as well as pond and canal liners. This is due to the low initial material cost and its high resistance to chemicals. It is available in higher thicknesses which other geomembrane types do not offer. HDPE geomembrane is also very strong relative to its weight and can resist higher temperatures.
One of the best characteristics of this geomembrane is its chemical and UV resistance, making it suitable for large area applications where high quality installation is required. Additionally, HDPE is food safe, allowing it to be used in storage of potable water.
