Over the past decade, Waterproof Geomembrane have played an important role in geotechnical projects. Our BPM brand geomembranes have been installed in various aquaculture projects around the world. With 20 years of geotechnical engineering experience, we provide customers with quality HDPE Waterproof Geomembrane products and professional geomembrane installation experience. Next, BPM Geosynthetics will discuss HDPE Waterproof Geomembrane as the best choice for aquaculture projects from the following aspects.
When building a pond, choosing the right material is essential to ensure its longevity and functionality. High-density polyethylene (HDPE) sheets are a popular choice for lining ponds due to their durability, flexibility, and resistance to various environmental factors. However, choosing the appropriate HDPE Waterproof Geomembrane for your geosynthetics project requires careful consideration of several key factors to ensure its performance and longevity.
1.What is Waterproof Geomembrane?
As we all know, HDPE Waterproof Geomembrane is the most commonly used waterproof material. It uses polyethylene virgin resin as raw material, adds carbon black, anti-aging agent and anti-ultraviolet absorber, etc. It is produced by three-layer co-extrusion blow molding process or calendering process technology using hdpe sheet equipment. Waterproof Geomembrane Liner is often used in aquaculture projects, garden projects, salt ponds and mining projects and tailings low-sinking and anti-seepage projects.
While Waterproof Geomembrane offer a host of advantages, not all are equal. For example, even liners of the same material can show significant differences in performance. The Geosynthetic Institute (GSI) is responsible for setting test methods, standards of practice, and product specifications for HDPE pond liners. This responsibility includes design and installation guidance. If you are working with an Waterproof Geomembrane, ensure that your selected product meets the GRI GM 13 test values.
2 How to choose the right Waterproof Geomembrane for your pond?
2.1 material cost
In the geotechnical material market, there are many materials for HDPE lmpermeable Liner, such as HDPE materials, LDPE materials, LLdpe materials, PVC materials, EPDM materials and so on.According to BPM Geosynthetics export experience, HDPE material is often used in pond.
2.1.1 HDPE Material cost
Waterproof Geomembrane are known for their chemical resistance and durability, making them ideal for pond liners. Waterproof Geomembrane are resistant to many different chemical elements and are the most widely used pond liners in the world. HDPE sheet geomembranes are not as flexible as LLDPE material, but they are mechanically stronger and HDPE can withstand higher temperatures. Its excellent chemical resistance and UV resistance make it a very cost-effective product.HDPE material has the lowest price among all materials.
2.1.2 LDPE,LLDPE Waterproof Geomembrane material
Compared with HDPE, LDPE and LLDPE have greater flexibility and are suitable for applications that require better conformity to complex shapes. LLDPE is highly flexible and resistant to low temperatures and UV rays. The product is high quality, affordable, long-lasting, and durable. If the pond has complex and varied shapes and requires good flexibility, then customers can choose LLDPE because LLDPE material is more flexible than HDPE, and at the same time, their material costs are almost the same.
2.1.3 PVC material, EPDM material
PVC is a highly flexible thermoplastic Waterproof Geomembrane made from a mixture of vinyl compounds, plasticizers and stabilizers. PVC sheet have excellent puncture, abrasion and tear resistance, preventing pollutants from entering groundwater, thereby protecting drinking water sources. Its wide chemical compatibility also makes it the best choice for buried sheet lining applications. Therefore, PVC is more commonly used in agricultural applications due to its flexibility and easy installation. EPDM is highly flexible and resistant to UV exposure, making it ideal for exposed applications such as ponds and canals. Both products cost more than HDPE.
To sum up, in terms of chemical properties and price, Waterproof Geomembrane is the best choice in pond projects.
3 HDPE Waterproof Geomembrane thickness
The thickness of the HDPE Waterproof Geomembrane is a key factor to consider. Thicker sheets have better puncture resistance and durability, providing better protection from sharp objects and potential damage. Choose a thickness that matches the size and depth of your pond to ensure adequate protection.
4.Waterproof Geomembrane – UV resistant
Ponds are exposed to sunlight, which can cause some materials to degrade over time. Choose Waterproof Geomembrane that are UV stabilized to ensure they can withstand prolonged sunlight exposure without deterioration. UV resistant HDPE Waterproof Geomembrane will maintain their integrity and performance over a long period of time.
5.Waterproof Geomembrane Chemical Compatibility
Check the chemical resistance of the Waterproof Geomembrane to ensure it is compatible with any treatments or chemicals used in the pond. HDPE is generally resistant to many chemicals, but compatibility must be verified to prevent any adverse reactions that could damage the integrity of the liner.
6.Waterproof Geomembrane – Flexibility and Conformity
The flexibility of the HDPE liner is crucial for ensuring it can conform to the shape of the pond without cracking or tearing during installation. Choose a flexible HDPE sheet that can easily adapt to the contours of your pond for a seamless and watertight fit.
7 Waterproof Geomembrane- Durability and Longevity
Select an HDPE geomembrane that is designed for durability and longevity. Look for high-quality materials that are built to withstand environmental factors, such as temperature changes, moisture, and physical wear, ensuring the liner remains intact and functional for years to come.
8. Waterproof Geomembrane- Size and Installation
Accurately measure the dimensions of your pond to determine the size of the HDPE sheet needed. Ensure the sheet is large enough to cover the entire area with some overhang for anchoring and securing the liner. Consider the installation requirements of the Waterproof Geomembrane, as some liners may require welding or sealing for a watertight seal.
9.Waterproof Geomembrane – Quality and Manufacturer
