Why do geomembrane liner prices vary so widely?

The price of geomembranes is related to the following factors:

1. Material type: Geomembranes are usually made of materials such as HDPE (high-density polyethylene) or LDPE (low-density polyethylene). HDPE geomembranes are generally more expensive because they have higher wear resistance and durability and are suitable for engineering projects that require higher quality geomembranes.

2. Thickness: The thickness of geomembranes is usually between 0.2mm and 3.0mm. The thicker the thickness, the higher the price. Usually, the specific requirements of the engineering project and the use environment will determine the thickness selection of the geomembrane.

3. Size: The size of the geomembrane will also affect the price. Common widths are 4 meters, 6 meters, 8 meters, etc., and the length can be cut as needed. Custom sizes are usually more expensive than standard-sized geomembranes.

4. Tensile strength: The tensile strength of a geomembrane is one of the important indicators for evaluating its quality. Geomembranes with higher tensile strength are usually more expensive because they have a longer service life in engineering projects.

5. Anti-seepage performance: The anti-seepage performance of geomembranes is one of their most important functions. Generally, the better the anti-seepage performance of geomembranes, the higher the price.

6. Production process: The process of producing geomembranes also has a great impact on the quality of the final product. Geomembranes using advanced production processes are usually more expensive.

7. Brands and suppliers: There may be some differences in the prices of geomembranes from different brands and suppliers. Well-known brands and reputable suppliers usually provide higher quality geomembranes at relatively higher prices.

In summary, the price of geomembranes is affected by many factors. When purchasing, you need to choose a suitable geomembrane based on specific project needs and budget.

What Are Geomembrane Liners?

What is geomembrane liner made of? What advantages does geomembrane liner have? For what application do we use geomembrane liner?  And if you deploy a geomembrane liner in a construction project, How about the cost? This article will provide you with clear knowledge of the above questions.

Geomembrane liner

Generally speaking, a geomembrane liner is a flexible plastic waterproof construction material with a synthetic membrane liner or barrier with very low permeability, used to control the migration of fluids, liquids or gases from the bottom of a man-made project, structure or system. There are four main types based on material classification: the most commonly used high-density polyethylene (HDPE), low-density polyethylene (LDPE), linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM). Geomembrane liners are made of continuous thin polymer sheets, but can also be made by impregnating geotextiles with bitumen, elastomers or polymer sprays, or made into multi-layer asphalt geocomposites. Continuous polymer sheet geomembranes are by far the most common.

Of all the types, HDPE geomembrane liners are the preferred product for liner projects, especially when there is a requirement for liner strength. HDPE geomembrane liners are resistant to a variety of solvents and are the most widely used geomembrane liners in the world. While HDPE geomembrane liner is not as flexible as LLDPE, it has a higher specific strength, can withstand higher temperatures, and its UV resistance makes it a cost-effective product.
