GEOMEMBRANES
Geomembranes are used as barriers to control fluid flow in structures that can be either artificial or natural. These can also be used to contain solid waste and mining.
Geomembranes can be made from raw materials like HDPE, LDPE, EVA, PP, and PVC. MPPL offers Geomembranes in HDPE, PP, and PVC.
Geo Membranes are manufactured in various thermoplastic materials like PP, HDPE, LDPE, PVC, etc.
Why use Geo Membranes?
-
1. Technical requirement (Tunnels, Mining industries)
-
2. Increase in world population, Urbanization, & More pressure on natural resources led to the legislation & certain regulations by Authorities in recognition of problems such as hygienic safety, contamination & loss of natural resources, etc.
1. Waste management (liquid products and solid waste) to prevent groundwater contamination.
-
2. Containment & delivery of potable (drinking) water.
-
3. Conserving water by minimizing evaporation losses.
-
4. Minimise losses by infiltration of water into porous soils.
