XR-5

  • XR-5 has been used by engineers worldwide for over 30 years to provide the best protection against acids, oils, methane, and alkalis.  XR-5 is the highest strength and most chemically resistant geomembrane on the market. XR-5’s base fabric is polyester and is a 40mil/38oz. material. XR-5 is a flexible product and allows movement.

Polyethylene (PPL)/Polypropylene (PP)

  • Reinforced Polyethylene varies in weight from 12mil to 40mil depending on durability required for the job.
  • Reinforced Polypropylene can be ordered in weights from 36mil – 45mil.

PVC

  • PVC is offered in a variety of weights ranging from 9oz. – 28oz. and is more malleable than PPL for jobs where flexibility is required.
