HDPE for textured geomembrane sheet. (Keeping Up With: Materials).


Anew fractional-melt EDPE EDPE Electronic Data Processing Equipment  geomembrane resin is designed specifically for the textured blown sheet process. Fortiflex G36-10-150 from Houston-based BP Solvay Polyethylene North America is a 10-HLMI, 0.937-g/cc hexene copolymer copolymer: see polymer. . Developed in cooperation with geomembrane producers, G36-10-150 reportedly addresses problems associated with the coextrusion texturing process while maintaining a balance between processability, high melt strength, and outstanding chemical and stress-crack resistance.

The resin exceeds the requirements of the Geosynthetic Research Institute's GM13 specification for smooth and textured HDPE HDPE
