Medium Density Polyethylene information


HDPE is manufactured from microbiological resistant polyethylene resins and offers optimum chemical resistance, with weathering capabilities and stress absorption properties.

This material is also approved for fish and plants.


HDPE offers the best dimensional stability and resistance to stress cracking, with excellent weld strength. 

You can be assured that Field Lining Systems has the experience, knowledge and full capabilities to handle the most complex and difficult lining assignments, with HDPE being one of Field Lining Systems specialties.

Field Lining Systems, Inc., has installed millions of square feet of HDPE in all types of applications.

Field Lining Systems specializes in the installation of a variety of flexible membrane linings. This HDPE liner was installed into a reservoir system.

 

Because HDPE is resistant to a broad range of chemicals in varying degrees of concentration as well as sunlight and UV attack, it is an excellent application for leach pads, wastewater ponds, landfills, aquaculture systems, landfill covers, secondary containment and tanks.

Field Lining Systems has installed HDPE sheet in sumps, ponds, canals, landfills, tanks, pit and trenches made of concrete, steel, dirt and wood for transfer and containment of chemical waste products. The fusion process is used for seaming panels together.  This is achieved by using a split wedge type welding equipment. The liner seams are then pressure tested to ensure a leak free lining system.

HDPE is available in thickness of 20 mil to 100 mil to meet your lining needs. Whether it is studded in place in concrete, steel, wood or the edges are buried for attachment in earthen ponds, HDPE is the toughest lining available for these industrial applications.

LANDFILL LINING & COVERS

For environmental protection, HDPE Geomembranes are the perfect solution for lining landfill facilities. Field Lining Systems, Inc., has extensive experience installing many types of geomembranes in a variety of landfill applications.  Landfill lining today takes a great deal of expertise and planning to ensure coordination with other contractors involved in the installation itself.

Field Lining Systems, Inc. has proven itself, by the millions of square feet installed, that they have the knowledge, professionalism and capabilities to ensure a top quality lining system.

Landfill covers pose some difficulty due to the constant settling and shifting of the decomposing refuse heaps, but there are HDPE membranes that have been produced just for this reason.

Field Lining Systems has the solutions to your landfill cover lining project.

LEACHATE PONDS

 

HDPE linings in leachate ponds keep the leachate contained that is collected from landfill cells. HDPE lining systems are extremely durable and can withstand the fluctuating extreme heat and bitter cold weather elements they are constantly exposed to.

 

TANK LINING

 

HDPE geomembranes can be used for primary containment of hydrocarbons, fuels, chemicals, potable water, and most hazardous liquids. HDPE can be attached to steel tanks, concrete foundations or used as a floating or fixed roof cover on the tank. Preserve and protect your tank walls from corrosion. You can also keep your potable water free from deteriorating contaminants entering your water system.

SECONDARY CONTAINMENT

Reliable secondary containment is crucial to keeping hazardous chemicals and waste from seeping from the primary containment vessel to the surrounding area.  HDPE liner protection is a proven secure method for secondary containment in many types of applications.

MINING APPLICATIONS

Long lasting and durable geomembrane lining systems are used in some of the most demanding mining facilities. HDPE provides an outstanding chemical resistant and puncture resistant lining system.  Variable thickness', textures and widths of the materials ensure faster installation time and less opportunity for leakage.

CANAL LINING

HDPE is the industry choice for lining all types of clean water canals and waterways for secure water containment. Concrete and earthen canals can lose great amounts of precious water due to cracking, leaking and erosion problems.

UV-stabilized HDPE can be exposed for long periods of time without decline in their performance level, or the lining system can be covered with a soil or concrete. Some canal linings require a concrete covering on top of the geomembrane. Canal lining systems do need protection form debris, equipment, vandals.

AQUACULTURE LINING

With low permeability rates, erosion protection, long lasting, secure containment, cleaning and  disinfecting capabilities and long life, an HDPE lining system for your shrimp and fish farming facility will greatly benefit the quality and quantity of your harvest. Risk of disease is greatly diminished.  Water quality is superior as HDPE liners contain no additives or chemicals which can leach out into your system.

Blended Medium Density Polyethylene (not approved for live fish and plants).
This is a lightweight film monolayer membrane material consisting of a blended medium density polyethylene. Minimum carbon black content of 2.5% provides excellent protection from UV rays and harsh weather conditions. Puncture and tear strengths far exceed common polyethylene or vinyl films.  This product is used mostly for larger ponds, including lagoons, canal liners, fire ponds, remediation liners, cargo covers, oil field pit liners, silage covers, outdoor covers, brine ponds, mine trailing ponds, interim landfill caps, leachate collection ponds. All panels are accordion folded every 5 feet and tightly rolled on a heavy-duty core for ease of handling and time saving installation. Material comes in 10, 30 & 40 mil.  Available in one piece applications up to 50,000 square foot panels in the 20 mil, 33,000 square foot panels in 30 mil and 25,000 square foot panels in 40 mil. 20 years is the average life
