What are the advantages of Poly-Flex smooth edge textured liners?
Our blown-film textured liners have smooth edges and are covered by U.S. Patent Nos. 5,763,047 and 5,804,112. The smooth edges result in easier, more cost-effective, more consistent, and better welding. • What is the minimum degree of roughness (texturing) a textured liner should have? The minimum industry standard specification GRI GM13 and GRI GM17, require a minimum Asperity Height of 10 mils for textured HDPE and textured LLDPE geomembranes. • Are there any adhesives, tapes or glues that are suitable for joining Poly-Flex liners? There are no adhesives, tapes or glues that provide a permanent, watertight bond to polyethylene. • Can Poly-Flex liners of different thickness or textures be welded to each other? Yes. Poly-Flex liners with thickness or texture differences of 20 mils or less can be fusion welded together. Liners with thickness or texture differences of greater than 20 mils should be extrusion welded together. • Can Poly-Flex liners of different densities be welded to each
