HDPE membranes installation, storage and handling

Installation

HDPE membranes should be installed on a blinded or smooth surface, free from sharp protrusions (typically maximum permissible particle size in direct contact with the membrane should be < 10mm). Avoid areas of unsupported membrane. Where required, adequate protection should be applied over the membrane to prevent damage after installation. HDPE 0.6 mm exhibits superior welding properties, making it ideal for on-site welding joints.

Storage and handling

Store in a clean and dry environment, with tolls stacked no more than 5 units high. HDPE 0.6 mm is classified as non-hazardous. It is chemically inert and is not affected by acids and alkalis that may be present in the subsoils. The material is not recommended for uses where it will be exposed to long periods of outdoor weathering, such as exposure to Ultraviolet light that will embrittle the product. Care should be take to avoid accidental damage when handling the membrane on site
