GM13 standard

High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) geomembrane is a durable, chemical-resistant, and low-permeability synthetic liner designed for environmental containment, mining, and hydraulic applications. Featuring high UV resistance, it excels in exposed, long-term projects like landfills and ponds. HDPE offers superior strength and thermal stability.

Key Characteristics and Benefits

Impermeability & Chemical Resistance: Excellent resistance to a wide range of chemicals, making it ideal for hazardous waste and leachate containment.

Durability: High puncture, tear, and tensile strength ensures long service life, often exceeding 50 years.

UV Resistance: High UV resistance allows for effective, long-term use in exposed applications.

Thickness Options: Typically manufactured in thicknesses ranging from 0.5 mm to 3.0 mm (20-120 mils).

Cost-Effective: Low cost and ease of installation (often with smooth or textured finishes) make it a preferred, high-performance containment solution.

Common Applications

Landfills & Waste Management: Used for landfill liners, caps, and leachate management to prevent soil and groundwater contamination.

Mining: Used for tailings, leach pads, and process water containment.

Water Management: Used as liners for dams, irrigation ponds, canals, and water reservoirs.

Environmental Protection: Used in wastewater treatment plants and secondary containment systems.

Finish: Smooth or textured (for enhanced slope stability).

Installation: Involves specialized thermal welding (often requiring 60+ mils for EPA compliance).
