XR-5, classified as an Ethylene Interpolymer Alloy (EIA), is renowned for its exceptional chemical resistance, ensuring unparalleled resilience to high temperatures and a wide array of chemicals, including acids, oils, and methane. Engineers worldwide, confronted with the most demanding environments, consistently choose XR5 Geomembrane Liners. The XR5 Geomembrane is crafted to stand as the market's pinnacle in resilience and chemical resistance. It's meticulously designed to contain and defend against potent substances such as acids, oils, methane, and alkalis. Additionally, XR-5 is available in thicknesses of 30, 40, and 60 mils. For applications requiring water-safe materials, a potable grade is on offer, and there's also a specialty chemical-resistant variant available for specific needs.
Compared to alternatives like high-density polyethylene (HDPE), chlorosulfonated polyethylene (CSPE), and polypropylene, XR5 Geomembrane Liners stand out with a plethora of benefits. They exhibit low thermal expansion and contraction, unmatched UV and chemical resistance, and superior tensile strength. These liners are not only flexible and UV stable but also demonstrate excellent resistance to chemicals and high temperatures. Accompanied by a 10-year warranty and an optional chemical-resistance warranty, XR5 Geomembrane Liners are tailored for a wide spectrum of challenging applications and environments. This includes floating covers, leachate ponds, secondary containment, wastewater treatment, floating baffles, tank floors, oil booms, wastewater ponds, and various transportation and infrastructure projects. Their unmatched durability and compatibility with aggressive liquids position them as the go-to material across industries, ensuring long-term containment with minimal upkeep.
XR-5 is a versatile material tailored for a diverse range of applications. It can be fabricated into large panels, facilitating faster and more straightforward installation. This makes it particularly well-suited for baffles, tank liners, and floating covers. Additionally, XR-5 is an excellent choice for reservoir liners, secondary fuel containment, and lining ponds and lakes. Its compatibility with industrial jet fuel showcases its adaptability, and it's also ideal for potable water storage, ensuring safe containment of drinking water.
When it comes to seaming XR-5, a specialized approach is employed to ensure its durability and integrity. XR-5 is designed to be thermally welded, demanding precision and expertise. As such, only a technician with the requisite training is authorized to perform this thermal welding, ensuring the highest quality and effectiveness of the seam.
The warranty for XR-5 is twofold. For fabrication, there's a 1-year warranty specifically covering fabricated seams. As for the manufacturer's material warranty, it's recommended to consult with your GEO Pro to obtain detailed information and specifics.
