Geomembrane Heat Resistance at Extreme Temperatures
Prolonged exposure to very high temperatures can weaken a liner quickly. Geomembrane heat resistance matters here: special high-temperature liners can help overcome this problem.
Typically, high temperatures over a long period cause a liner to weaken quickly; exposure above 140°F (60°C) can damage the liner.

The Difference Between Geotextile and Geomembrane
Geosynthetics manufacturers have developed special liners made from high-temperature resins that can withstand almost twice this temperature (60°C). Combining high-temperature resin, a carbon black formula, UV stabilizers and antioxidants produces a liner that resists the effects of extreme temperatures.
Geomembrane can maintain its physical properties in applications with continuous high temperatures of up to 203°F (95°C). Laboratory tests show increased tensile strength and resistance to stress cracking, puncture and oxidation at high temperatures, making it suitable for high-temperature applications and as a waterproof liner.
Geomembrane is used in many projects around the world, including in Indonesia, to line landfills, ponds, aquaculture ponds, drainage and irrigation systems, wastewater biogas systems, liquid storage tanks, bioreactor landfills and more.
