Hydrocarbons are colourless gases formed as a by-product of decomposing organic matter. It is crucial that when gas protection is required, the site conditions, design and application are all taken into consideration to provide an impermeable membrane capable of surviving installation and subsequent traffic, to protect the most valuable asset ‘‘ the building’’ against harmful gases that can cause future problems.
Rhinoplast Hydrocarbon Geomembrane is a high quality, high density polyethylene (HDPE) produced from specially formulated, proprietary virgin polyethylene resin designed specifically for flexible geomembrane applications.
Rhinoplast Hydrocarbon Geomembrane has outstanding chemical resistance, mechanical properties, environmental stress crack resistance, dimensional stability and thermal ageing characteristics. The membrane also has excellent resistance to UV radiation and is suitable for exposed conditions.
