In an era of global water scarcity, extreme climate volatility, and rigorous industrial environmental regulations in 2026, constructing leak-proof agricultural water reservoirs, solar evaporation ponds, and industrial wastewater lagoons is an existential operational priority. SherkatTrade HDPE Geomembrane Sheet Liners (High-Density Polyethylene Containment Membranes), fully compliant with the international GRI-GM13 specification, provide the ultimate impermeable barrier against subsurface seepage, securing 100% water retention for commercial agriculture and civil infrastructure.
Manufactured at our polymer converting facility in Isfahan from 100% virgin high-density polyethylene resin compounded with 2.5% fine-particle carbon black (Carbon Black N-550/N-660) and synergistic antioxidant/HALS light stabilizers, these liners resist harsh solar ultraviolet radiation, severe desert thermal cycles (-40°C to +80°C), and corrosive industrial chemical leachates, delivering a certified service life exceeding 50 years.
Every production master roll is accompanied by a certified laboratory Quality Test Report (QTR) verified under ASTM and GRI-GM13 testing protocols:
| Project Infrastructure | Recommended Thickness | Surface Texture | Strategic Engineering Benefit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Agricultural Earth Reservoirs (Depth < 5m) | 1.5 mm | Smooth (Both sides) | Optimal balance of tensile strength, puncture resistance, and cost efficiency |
| Aquaculture Fish & Shrimp Hatcheries | 1.0 mm to 1.5 mm | Smooth Polished | Prevents algae/moss adhesion, enables rapid washdown, and ensures water purity |
| Water Storage Dams & Steep Slope Canals | 2.0 mm | Textured (One/Both sides) | Increases interface friction angle with soil/geotextile, preventing slope slippage |
| Mining Heap Leach & Landfill Containment | 2.0 mm to 3.0 mm | Smooth Acid-Resistant | Maximum chemical containment preventing toxic leachate seepage into groundwater |
Geomembrane installation eliminates expensive steel rebar framing, formwork, and multi-layer bitumen waterproofing, requiring only compacted earth grading.
Using automated dual-track hot wedge welding machines with integrated air test channels, hundreds of square meters are lined and pressurized daily.
With an elongation at break exceeding 700% (ASTM D6693), the membrane flexes and conforms to asymmetrical ground settling without puncturing.
Unlike concrete that develops micro-cracks during winter freeze-thaw cycles, SherkatTrade HDPE liners remain ductile down to -40°C.
| Performance Parameter | SherkatTrade GRI-GM13 HDPE Membrane | Traditional Reinforced Concrete | Bitumen / Asphalt Lining |
|---|---|---|---|
| Water Seepage Rate | 0.0% Absolute Zero Seepage | Seepage through cold joints & cracks | Seepage develops after 1–2 years |
| Estimated Service Life | 50 to 80+ Years | 10 to 20 Years (frequent patching) | Less than 3 to 5 Years |
| Ground Settlement Tolerance | Elongates up to 700% without tearing | Cracks immediately under minor shift | Cracks and tears at settlement zones |
| Cleaning & Maintenance | Rapid water jetting on non-stick surface | Laborious cleaning inside porous pores | Difficult and easily damaged |
| Total Lifetime Project Cost | Highly economical with zero maintenance | Very expensive initial & repair cost | High lifecycle replacement costs |
Yes, in soil beds containing gravel, sharp stones, or aggregate remnants, placing a protective nonwoven geotextile cushion is essential to prevent hydrostatic puncture under deep water loads.
Dual-track hot wedge welds create a central air channel that is pressurized with air (Air Pressure Test) to verify seal integrity. Corner transitions are tested with spark testers or vacuum testing boxes.
Minimum orders for full factory rolls start from a single master roll (typically 300 m² to 600 m² depending on roll width and thickness).
