What are the application scenarios of geomembrane？

What is a geomembrane

HDPE geomembrane is a waterproof and barrier material produced from (medium) high-density polyethylene resin. (Geomembrane with a density of 0.94g/cm3 or above).
The full name of HDPE geomembrane is “high density polyethylene film”. Service life (50 years).
It is widely used in anti-seepage projects such as domestic waste landfills, solid waste landfills, sewage treatment plants, artificial lakes, and tailings treatment.

Geomembrane application field

Landfill, sewage treatment plant, power plant tailings treatment, chemical plant, fertilizer plant, sugar factory sewage tailings treatment, non-ferrous metallurgy, sulfuric acid pool, tailings treatment, subway, basement, tunnel, roof lining and other special environment anti-seepage (for special use); horizontal anti-seepage laying and vertical anti-seepage laying of reservoirs, canals, and dams; anti-seepage of seawater, fresh water, and farms.

What is HDPE

High-density polyethylene (HDPE), a white powder or granular product. Non-toxic, tasteless, crystallinity of 80% to 90%, softening point of 125 to 135°C, service temperature up to 100°C; hardness, tensile strength and creep are worse than low density polyethylene; wear resistance, electrical Good insulation, toughness and cold resistance; good chemical stability, insoluble in any organic solvents at room temperature, corrosion resistant to acids, alkalis and various salts; the film has low permeability to water vapor and air, and water absorption Low; poor aging resistance, environmental stress cracking resistance is not as good as low-density polyethylene, especially thermal oxidation will reduce its performance, so antioxidants and ultraviolet absorbers must be added to the resin to improve this deficiency. High-density polyethylene film has a low heat distortion temperature under stress, so care should be taken when applying it.
