GEO MEMBRANE

Geomembranes are used as barriers to control fluid flow in structures that can be either artificial or natural. These can also be used to contain solid waste and mining.

Geomembranes can be made from raw materials like HDPE, LDPE, EVA, PP, and PVC. MPPL offers Geomembranes in HDPE, PP, and PVC.

Geo Membrane are manufactured in various thermoplastic material like PP, HDPE, LDPE, PVC, etc.

Why use Geo Membranes?

  • 1. Technical requirement (eg.Tunnels, Mining industries)
  • 2. Increase in world population, Urbanization & More pressure on natural resources led to the legislation & certain regulations by Authorities in recognition of problems such as hygienical safety, contamination & loss of natural resources etc.

    •     1. Waste management (liquid products and solid waste) to prevent ground water contamination.
    •     2. Containment & delivery of potable (drinking) water.
    •     3. Conserving water by minimizing evaporation losses.
    •     4. Minimise losses by infiltration of water into porous soils.

HDPE or PP is the only material widely recognized to withstand the harsh environment found within waste disposal. Geo Membranes liners can be used for ground water protection in wide range of applications.
