Plastatech Tech 5® Chemical and Oil Resistant Geomembrane

 
Tech 5 Geomembranes deliver durable, long-term environmental protection.

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
