Introduction of geomembrane as a liners for waste liquids
Man-made structures sometimes face problems and do not hold the materials that should be preserved in the structure.
The leakage and penetration of fluids and gases sometimes causes the structures to deviate from their original use. Dams or pools of agricultural land, fish breeding ponds and landfills must be insulated in such a way that no leakage or infiltration occurs and materials are not allowed to penetrate into the soil.
Over time, different layers with different materials have been used to insulate the fields, each of which has had many problems. Some of these insulations are very expensive and not affordable. Others have a very short life and quickly deteriorate, and the substance inside them penetrates to the bottom surface.
To solve these problems, we introduce geomembranes to you
Geomembranes have different types and for this reason they can be used in the fields of construction, design, landscaping, etc. Geomembrane itself is a geosynthetic material with insulating properties. This word itself is derived from two Greek words “Geo” and “Membrane”, which in translation means the waterproof packaging (Membrane) of the Earth (Geo). The main material for the production of geomembranes is LDPE (high density polyethylene) and HDPE (low density polyethylene) and geomembranes are used as liners for waste liquids.
Types of geomembrane as liners for waste liquids
(woven polyethylene) a type of geomembrane as a liners for waste liquids
Woven Coated Polyethylene (WCPE) is one of our best selling products. For durability and strength, high density polyethylene threads are first woven into a tight texture. The woven material is then coated with low-density polyethylene and heated to fuse the layers together for structural stability. The final product is very resistant to tearing, stretching, punctures and chemicals.
The main function of woven polyethylene liners is suitable for short-term containment. With woven polyethylene, it has greater strength (compared to LLDPE of the same thickness), but does not have the opposite point of WCPE and the longevity of LLDPE or HDPE. Lasts up to 5 years in exposed condition (uncoated) depending on thickness, deteriorates sooner with thinner.
(LLDPE) a type of geomembrane as a liners for waste liquids
(LLDPE) Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) is a great material when you need a long lasting liner. LLDPE is a flat plastic solid sheet, like all polyethylene geomembranes it is highly chemical resistant. LLDPE has much better UV resistance than woven poly. It’s also easy to repair holes/tears, which is usually not the case with woven poly.
LLDPE really shines in its lifetime if it is back-lined (covered with clay material) to protect against UV rays. In general, the thicker the LLDPE, the stronger it will be and the longer it will last when exposed to UV rays. LLDPE is sometimes used by trade names while some simply call it LLDPE. Depending on the thickness, it can last up to 8 years in exposed conditions (uncoated), with thinner it will degrade sooner.
Textured LLDPE is a type of geomembrane as a liners for waste liquids
(LLDPE) Textured LLDPE is our single sided version of LLDPE. It has all the same elements of smooth LLDPE with the exception that it has a textured surface. The weave surface is approximately 10mm higher than any claimed shaft thickness. Textured LLDPE is useful in applications where people are working around or on top of liners, providing traction to minimize slips and falls.
A common use of Textured LLDPE is for Rig-Site Pad Liners, which prevent spills from penetrating into the ground but still provide a safe surface to walk on. It can also be used in pits where there is wildlife or if there is concern about an animal/person falling into the pit, the pull will help to get out.
HDPE (high-density polyethylene) is a strong, rigid material used in long-term pit applications that require excellent chemical resistance, such as disposal ponds, evaporation pits, or landfills. The material itself is relatively inexpensive, but must be purchased in full rolls of material, shipped from the manufacturer, and then installed and welded on site.
The biggest disadvantage of HDPE is its excellent chemical resistance. HDPE comes in 23-inch wide rolls that vary in length depending on the millimeter thickness required. If you need HDPE, please contact us and we can give you a quote for materials and/or installation.
(PVC) a type of geomembrane as a liners for waste liquids
PVC (polyvinyl chloride) is an unreinforced material that is easy to use and offers many advantages such as resistance to harmful chemicals. When buried, PVC can last more than 20 years. Another reason people and businesses choose PVC is the ease of sealing in this area. If it is not possible to make a piece the size of the pit,
It can be attached in the field without the need for expert installation. It lasts up to 5 years in exposed condition (uncoated). Please call for price information
(non-woven polyethylene) a type of geomembrane as a liners for waste liquids
A liner is not a chamber, but is used in conjunction with a lining. Usually sold at 8 ounces per square yard, also lighter (thinner)
A heavier (thicker) one is available. Non-woven geotextile, “felt”, provides a cushion under the liner for situations where there is a rock subgrade or you just want extra reassurance. Sold in rolls.
Available in different weights
Choosing the most suitable geomembrane as a liners for waste liquids
When it comes to choosing a material for lining work, there are a few different things to consider. You should find information here to help you decide which coating material is right for your needs. There are a number of different geomembranes (liner materials) and they are all basically created to do the same thing, hold fluids in! They all do, but some lining materials will have more durability, longevity, and/or resistance.
Some casing liners hold up better in the long term (LLDPE, HDPE), others are easier to install (LLDPE, CWPE), and others resist chemicals better (HDPE). Also, sometimes you may want/need a non-woven geotextile (felt) to cushion under your cover for less than ideal surfaces.
