What is the difference between geomembrane and impermeable membrane?
Geomembrane and impermeable membrane is actually a product, but the name is not the same, impermeable membrane is only in the course of the operation as a seepage from the role, so some people slowly called impermeable membrane
Impermeable membrane is impermeable geomembrane, including geomembrane, composite geomembrane, two cloth a film, a cloth a film. Geomembrane is HDPE geomembrane, geomembrane is a kind of polymer as the basic raw material waterproof barrier material. Mainly divided into: polyethylene (PE) geomembrane, PVC (PVC) geomembrane, chlorinated polyethylene (CPE) geomembrane and a variety of composite geomembrane and so on. Function: seepage, isolation purposes: geotechnical dam, rockfill dam, masonry dam and pressure concrete dam; dike, dam front level anti-seepage cover, vertical foundation impervious layer; tailings dam, sewage dam dam and reservoir Construction of cofferdam; channel, reservoir (pit, Khouang); waste yard; subway, basement and tunnel, tunnel seepage lining; highway, highway, railway roadbed; roadbed and other salt control; Collapsible loess waterproof layer; roof leakage products: two cloth a film (impermeable membrane on both sides with protective geotextile) a cloth a film (impermeable membrane side with protective geotextile) Width: 4-6 meters
Different people to give different names, in fact, almost, just to see where you use, what to do. According to the nature of the material can be divided into: HDPE (two cloth a film, a cloth a film,), LDPE, PE, GLC, PVC, EPDM and so on. Different materials use a different range, but can be called geomembrane or impermeable membrane. Source: Tony Tuna
