Geomembranes

Geomembrane are a kind Geosynthatic material made up of an a impermeable membrane. Their uses include solid waste containment ( such as landfill ), mining and water containment applications.

This will made with various combinations of available raw materials in worldwide such as

• Bituminous Geomembrane (BGM)
• Ethylene propylene diener Monomer (EPDM)
• Low Density polyethylene (LDPE)
• High Density Polyethylene (HDPE)
• Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)
• Polypropylene (PP)

Each type of Geomembrane material has different characteristics which affect installation procedures, lifespan and performance. For example, PVC Geomembrane is very flexible and as a result can conform to uneven surfaces without becoming punctured. EPDM rubber is highly flexible and has excellent UV and weathering characteristics, but is not suitable for use in long term contact with oils and hydrocarbons. LDPE, on the other hand, is very susceptible to UV radiation, and therefore should not be used in applications where it will be exposed or else it will become brittle and fragile. HDPE has excellent chemical resistance, but is inflexible and suffers from environmental stress cracking and thermal stresses.

Function of Geomembrane

Geomembrane are a very low permeability synthetic membrane liner or barrier used with any geotechnical engineering related material. And its control fluid migration in human-made projects, like landfill, dams, water storage and oil storages Systems. The primary function of Geomembrane is always as a barrier against liquids.
