Since 1983, Solmax field technicians have successfully installed well over 30 000 MT of polyethylene geomembranes in accordance with the highest industry standards (20~ million m² of 1.5mm geomembranes).
Environment
Nations around the world are increasingly concerned about their natural heritage. Government policies now hold industries accountable for any environmental harm they cause, and make them responsible for preventing any such damage.

PVC
Flexible polyvinyl chloride is a thermoplastic material manufactured from a mixture of vinyl compounds, plasticizers and stabilizers.
PVC geomembranes have unique mechanical properties such as a high degree of flexibility, an excellent elongation percentage, a reduced expansion coefficient and considerable puncture resistance. Although polyvinyl chloride stiffens significantly as temperatures drop, special formulations have been developed that allow flexing below 15 °F (-10 °C). PVC liners can also be treated and certified NSF 61 to hold potable water suitable for human consumption. | |
