SGS and Cipatex release new PVC geomembranes

Southern Geosynthetics Supplies Pty. Ltd (SGS) is now offering new Cipatex DG and Hipertech R geomembranes. Cipatex and SGS collaborated on the development of the new DG200 which is a 0.8mm PVC geomembrane bonded on either side with 200 gsm nonwoven geotextile. The composite material provides a geomembrane with extraordinary puncture and tear resistance, as well as high surface friction, together with the great flexibility and durability of polyvinyl chloride (PVC).

DG200 is the ideal choice for the most demanding water containment applications, including dam lining, rain gardens, landfill caps and wrapping the Rainsmart modular stormwater tank system.

Another advantage of DG200 is the 10.4 m roll width, the widest in its class, making installation a breeze. For ease of handling the rolls of DG200 are folded in half to 5.2 m. DG200 may be seamed by either hot-wedge welding or gluing.

Hipertech R is a PVC-R alloy geomembrane, structured with a polyester woven scrim, which offers enhanced chemical resistance making it ideal for secondary containment applications. Hipertech R offers a cost-effective alternative to XR-5.

Cipatech geomembranes are available exclusively through SGS. For more information, visit www.sierrageo.com.
