HDPE vs. Geomembrane
| Item | HDPE | Geomembrane |
|---|---|---|
| Definition | High-Density Polyethylene – a thermoplastic resin material | A geosynthetic product used for impermeability and containment |
| Nature | Raw material (polymer pellets) | Finished product (manufactured sheets/rolls) |
| Relationship | Can be used to produce geomembranes | Can be made from HDPE, LLDPE, PVC, EVA, etc. |
| Form / Thickness | Supplied as resin pellets | Rolls of liner, typically 0.5mm–3.0mm thick |
| Applications | Requires further processing | Landfills, reservoirs, canals, heap leach pads, wastewater ponds, tunnels |
| Summary | HDPE = Material | Geomembrane = Product; HDPE Geomembrane = the most widely used geomembrane type |
