(PVC) Polyvinyl Chloride Geomembranes

PVC liners have been successfully used for containment applications since the 1960's. PVC geomembranes have proven especially effective in dealing with limited site access, long haul distances and areas where freeze and thaw are an issue. One of the largest current applications for PVC geomembranes is the containment of hazardous and municipal wastes and their leachates. PVC geomembranes can be factory fabricated into large panels to minimize field sewing. However, they are also easily spliced in the field. All products meet PGI 1104 specifications.
