XR-5 Geomembranes: Extra-Heavy Duty Liners Built to Last
When it comes to industrial containment, not all geomembranes are created equal. XR-5 geomembranes stand out as the strongest and most durable secondary containment liners, engineered to handle harsh chemicals, extreme environments, and long-term exposure to the elements. With superior chemical resistance, UV stability, and reinforced strength, XR-5 geomembranes ensure reliable protection in industries where spills and leaks could have devastating consequences.
What Makes XR-5 Geomembranes Different?
Unlike traditional geomembranes made from HDPE or PVC, XR-5 liners are composed of a high-strength reinforced fabric coated with a polymer alloy, typically a blend of ethylene interpolymer alloy (EIA). This advanced material composition gives XR-5 liners unmatched impermeability, flexibility, and tensile strength, making them a top choice for applications where conventional plastic liners fail.
Here’s why XR-5 geomembranes outperform other liners:
✅ Unparalleled Chemical Resistance – XR-5 is designed to withstand exposure to hydrocarbons, acids, and industrial chemicals that would degrade other geomembranes.
✅ Extreme Durability – Resistant to punctures, tears, and mechanical stress, XR-5 maintains its integrity even in high-traffic areas and rough terrain.
✅ Superior UV and Thermal Stability – Unlike other liners that degrade in direct sunlight, XR-5 remains resistant to UV radiation and extreme temperature fluctuations.
✅ Highly Flexible and Adaptable – The reinforced construction allows for installation over irregular surfaces, slopes, and complex topographies without compromising performance.
✅ Long Service Life – XR-5 geomembranes are designed for long-term reliability, reducing the need for frequent replacements and lowering maintenance costs.
Applications of XR-5 Geomembranes
Because of their strength and versatility, XR-5 geomembranes are widely used in demanding industrial and environmental applications, including:
🔹 Spill Containment Systems – Used in secondary containment for chemical storage tanks, fuel storage areas, and hazardous waste facilities.
🔹 Process Wastewater Containment – Perfect for industrial plants where corrosive liquids and wastewater need secure containment.
🔹 Tank Floors and Liners – Installed beneath storage tanks to prevent leaks from contaminating soil and groundwater.
🔹 Mining Operations – Used in heap leach pads, process ponds, and tailings containment to prevent toxic material leakage.
🔹 Wastewater Treatment Facilities – Protects the surrounding environment from hazardous wastewater and sludge storage leakage.
🔹 Landfills and Contaminated Soil Caps – Helps to isolate and contain hazardous waste, preventing the spread of pollutants.
