Tech 5® Geomembranes deliver durable, long-term environmental protection.
By using the knowledge gained in manufacturing exposed single-ply roofing membranes, Plastatech has chemically engineered Tech 5 to withstand UV exposure, extreme cold climates, atmospheric pollutants, and chemical contaminates.
- Tech 5 is a reinforced geomembrane that delivers superior tensile and elongation strengths.
- No more tearing or puncturing. Tech 5 offers durable dimensional stability for any exposed or covered application.
Tech 5 is easy to install :
- Reinforcement scrim offers protection against common installation stresses such as punctures and tears.
- Proprietary formulation results in unsurpassed flexibility, helping make field installations quick and easy.
- Elongation strength offers the protection needed to cover field contours of any size.
- Compatible with common seam-welding methods including: hot air, chemical, dielectric and wedge.
Tech 5 is chemical resistant:
- Tech 5 offers the durability you need for the design life of any containment project.
- Withstands acidic and alkaline contaminants.
- Resists harsh chemical and atmospheric challenges.
Tech 5 is compatible for use in:
- Waste water containment
- Secondary containment
- Secondary lining
- Landfill covers
- Containment ponds
