XR Geomembrane Vs. HDPE: Thicker Isn't Always Better

Learn why reinforced flexible membrane liners offer higher puncture strength and improved liner integrity versus HDPE.

Advantages of 30 mil XR Geomembranes vs. 60 mil HDPE

XR-5^® Geomembranes provide over 300% higher puncture strength and over 200% higher tensile strength compared to the twice-as-thick, 60 mil HDPE. Additionally, the prefabrication of XR-5 Geomembranes allows for improved liner integrity and significantly reduces the number of field seams. HDPE is too rigid to prefab. Therefore, all seams are field seams, which translates into longer installation time, higher installation costs, and lower membrane integrity.

Seaman XR Geomembranes are the strongest, most durable geomembranes in use today. Fill out the form to download our whitepaper outlining, in detail, why you should choose XR Geomembranes over high-density polyethylene.
