The E Squared line of Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPE-R) is a string-reinforced LLDPE-R composite membrane with the specific properties required for geomembranes and other demanding applications. LLDPE-R has been in increasing demand due to its superior flexibility and better lay flat versus the traditional High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE).
E Squared has designed its LLDPE-R and other Flexible Membrane Liner (FML) fabrics for high puncture and tear resistance, also offering superior resistance to chemicals and UV stability, It is ideal for use in solid and hazardous waste landfills, C & D landfills, mining and industrial and municipal water and wastewater treatment. The material (sold in jet black with a matte finish on both sides) is available in widths up to 10 feet, in 30, 36 and 45 mil for easy and efficient fabrication. A unique, embossed textured finish for improved traction is also available.
LLDPE-R is flexible enough to be fabricated ahead of time, welded and tested on a dry floor under controlled conditions. The advantages of this process include accelerated and more consistent welding, greater peel adhesion and bonded seam sheer values, and reduced construction quality assurance (CQA) expenses.
Watch how the dual track hot air welder creates strong, consistent seams with an integrated air channel for pressure testing and leak detection.
