XR®
Compared to other membrane materials, XR® membranes are exceptionally strong, with very high puncture and tear resistance. Its reinforced, multi-layered design provides maximum strength-to-weight ratios and flexibility for ease of handling. The ethylene interpolymer alloy (EIA) coatings make the material resilient to environmental stress cracking, high loads, and temperature fluctuations.
XR® products come in three grades: XR®-5, XR®-3, and XR®-PW (Potable Water).
XR®-5 geomembranes provide over 300% higher puncture strength vs. twice as thick 60 mil HDPE and over 200% better tensile strength. XR®-5 geomembranes also provide 22 times lower thermal expansion and contraction compared to HDPE.
