GM13 Geo Membrane Liners: Reliable, Versatile Barriers for Containment Projects
When it comes to containment—whether for landfills, water reservoirs, or industrial waste—you need a liner that doesn’t cut corners. GM13 Geo Membrane Liners are engineered to deliver consistent performance, blending impermeability, toughness, and flexibility to tackle the most demanding projects. Below’s why they’ve become a trusted choice for engineers, contractors, and site operators worldwide.
I. Industry-Leading Impermeability: Locking in Liquids & Contaminants
The primary job of any geo membrane liner is to stop seepage—and GM13 Geo Membrane Liners excel here, thanks to their precision-engineered structure.
1. Seepage Control Data vs. Standard Liners
Liner Type | Water Vapor Transmission Rate (WVTR) | Leachate Seepage Rate | Containment Efficiency |
GM13 Geo Membrane Liners | <1×10⁻¹¹ g/(cm·s·Pa) (ASTM E96) | <0.3 L/m²/year | 99.97%+ |
Standard HDPE Liners | 1×10⁻¹⁰ – 5×10⁻¹⁰ g/(cm·s·Pa) | 1–2 L/m²/year | 99.5%–99.8% |
PVC Liners | 5×10⁻¹⁰ – 1×10⁻⁹ g/(cm·s·Pa) | 2–3 L/m²/year | 99%–99.5% |
(1) Real-World Impact: For a 5,000㎡ landfill cell, GM13 Geo Membrane Liners reduce leachate seepage to less than 1,500 liters annually—compared to 5,000–15,000 liters with standard liners. That’s a game-changer for protecting groundwater and meeting environmental regulations.
(2) Liquid Type Versatility: Whether it’s acidic industrial waste (pH 2–3), alkaline runoff (pH 11–12), or freshwater for irrigation, GM13’s impermeable barrier holds strong. Lab tests show no measurable seepage even after 10 years of exposure to harsh liquids (per ISO 9001-certified testing protocols).
II. Built to Last: Durability That Stands Up to Harsh Conditions
Containment sites are tough—sharp debris, heavy loads, and constant outdoor exposure can break down inferior liners. GM13 Geo Membrane Liners are designed to withstand it all.
1. Toughness & Resistance Metrics
Test Standard | Property | GM13 Performance | Industry Average |
ASTM D4833 | Puncture Resistance | 420 N | 300–350 N |
ASTM D4632 | Tensile Strength | 22 kN/m | 15–18 kN/m |
ASTM G154 | UV Stability (2,000 hrs) | Retains 92% strength | Retains 75–85% strength |
(1) Debris & Load Tolerance: Landfill waste often includes sharp objects like metal scraps or broken concrete—GM13’s 1.5mm core (standard thickness) resists punctures from items up to 6cm in diameter. Even under 10-ton landfill compactor pressure, it doesn’t stretch or tear, unlike thinner liners that fail 30% of the time in similar conditions.
(2) Weather Resilience: From scorching deserts (60°C) to freezing tundras (-40°C), GM13 maintains flexibility. It elongates 350% (ASTM D882) without cracking during freeze-thaw cycles, and its UV stabilizers prevent brittleness—so it lasts 20+ years outdoors, compared to 10–15 years for non-stabilized liners.
III. Versatile Enough for Any Containment Project
GM13 Geo Membrane Liners aren’t one-trick ponies—they adapt to a wide range of applications, making them a go-to for contractors who handle diverse projects.
1. Key Application Use Cases
(1) Landfills & Waste Containment: Meets EPA Subtitle D and EN 13493 standards for municipal and industrial landfills. Its chemical resistance blocks toxic leachate from seeping into soil, reducing environmental liability.
(2) Agricultural Water Storage: Ideal for irrigation ponds and reservoirs—locks in water with minimal seepage, helping farmers save 30–40% on water usage (per FAO agricultural efficiency data). Non-toxic material (FDA 21 CFR 177.1520 compliant) is safe for crops and livestock.
(3) Industrial Containment: Perfect for chemical storage tanks, wastewater treatment ponds, and mining tailings. Resists corrosion from oils, solvents, and heavy metals, ensuring no contamination of surrounding areas.
2. Adaptability to Site Conditions
(1) Irregular Shapes & Slopes: GM13’s flexibility lets it conform to curved basins, steep slopes (up to 45°), and uneven terrain. No need for custom cuts or extra seams—reducing the risk of leaks at joint points.
(2) Modular Sizing: Available in rolls up to 12m wide and 100m long, minimizing the number of seams for large projects. A 10,000㎡ reservoir, for example, requires 30% fewer seams with GM13 than with 6m-wide standard liners.
IV. Easy Installation & Regulatory Compliance: Saving Time & Headaches
Contractors hate liners that are hard to install or fail inspections. GM13 Geo Membrane Liners solve both problems with user-friendly design and global certification.
1. Simplified Installation Process
(1) Speed & Labor Savings: A 2-person crew can install 700–900㎡ of GM13 per day—2x faster than rigid liners. It uses standard extrusion welding (ASTM D6392), creating seams with 95% of the liner’s base strength. No special tools or training required—just basic welding equipment most crews already have.
(2) Low-Maintenance: Unlike clay liners that need compaction and regular regrading, GM13 requires minimal upkeep. Routine inspections take half the time, as damage (like small tears) is easy to spot and repair with heat-welded patches in 20–30 minutes.
2. Global Regulatory Compliance
Region/Standard | Compliance Status | Key Requirement Met |
U.S. EPA | Fully Compliant | Subtitle D (Municipal Waste), Subtitle C (Hazardous Waste) |
EU EN 13493 | Certified | Leachate containment, UV stability |
ISO 9001/14001 | Certified | Quality control, environmental safety |
(1) Avoid Fines: Non-compliant liners can lead to fines of $10,000+ per violation. GM13’s certifications ensure you pass inspections on the first try, saving you time and money on rework.
(2) Peace of Mind: For project owners, compliance means reduced liability. GM13’s track record of zero major leaks in 15+ years of real-world use (per manufacturer’s case studies) gives confidence in long-term performance.
