Polyethylene Geomembrane - SOLMAX 400 & 800 SERIES

Manufactured in wide rolls (6.8 m wide or 7.5 m wide), high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) liners come in varying thicknesses ranging from 20 to 120 mil (0.5 to 3.0 mm) to meet engineering design requirements. It also comes in a variety of surface finishes, from smooth to heavily textured.

• HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) - SOLMAX 400 SERIES
  High-density polyethylene is the most chemically resistant member of the polyethylene family on account of its dense configuration (>0.94 g/cm3). It is extensively used for containment structures. Although less flexible than its LLDPE counterpart, it still offers great elongation properties allowing up to 12% deformation at its yield point.

• LLDPE (Linear Low Density Polyethylene) - SOLMAX 800 SERIES
  As its name implies, linear low-density polyethylene is a lower-density polymer (‹0.939 g/cm³) yielding increased material flexibility. LLDPE is mainly used where long-term large settlements are anticipated such as landfill covers.

PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) - SOLMAX 200 SERIES

Using a state-of-the-art dielectric process and infrared technology, Solmax manufactures pre-assembled panels capable of covering surface areas of up to 4,500 m² per panel. Thicknesses range from 0.25 mm to 1.5 mm. Factory seams are the work of experienced technicians operating in a controlled environment free of contaminants.

• Fish grade PVC
  Product Codes: SOLMAX 215FG, 220FG, 235 FG
  When aquatic life is desired for applications such as architectural and horticultural ponds, specially formulated fish grade polyvinyl chloride liners are also available.
• Potable grade PVC
  Products codes: SOLMAX 220PG, 230PG, 260PG
  PVC also comes in a potable grade, enabling its use for potable water containment as per National Sanitation Foundation Standard 61, "Drinking Water System Components." Water stored in contact with potable grade PVC is accordingly safe for human consumption.
