Carbofol® is produced in various thicknesses and with smooth or embossed structured surfaces. Carbofal® geomembranes provide a seal against the most toxic substances. Carbofol® is typically used in sealing applications for landfill base seals aswell as caps, in en- vironmental seating applications for the protection of ground- '%g.1 water from contamination and in water conveyance sndaodct mot structures, canals or ponds. Advantage: High-Level stress crack resistance The service life of geosynthetic components, such as geomembranes, is determined by inadmissible stress and/or ageing. Polyethylene was therefore subjected to thorough testing regarding its ageing properties as no ‘other material before. To ensure the long-term durabi- lity of geomembranes it is important that they are “asmasio highly resistant against stress cracking. Based on ‘numerous investigations, NAUE GmbH & Co. KG has stabilised Carbofol® geomembranes so that they now feature a high long term and stress crack resistance. This was tested with the Natched Constant Tensile Load Test (ASTM 5397) as well as achieved according to the concept of creep curves in internal pressure tests (150 9080:2003}. ‘Advantage: Embossed structure Allows shear force transfer independent of direction. Safety is the top priority forall sealing applications, especially on slopes. Based on many years of experience with various geomembrane structures it was clear that an improved friction surface can only be an embossed profile ofthe same resin material, creating a homoge ‘neous connection between the liner and the structure. This process not only ensures the continuity of the raw material forthe sheet and the friction anchors but also a long-term service life due to the homogeneity of MegaFriction. There are 31,500 friction anchors/m? which contribute to excellent high fiction properties. These anchors are 900y high and are machine repro ducible at all times during the manufacturing process. Delamination of the Many Effective Geomembrane Anchors does not occur. The improved surface is espe- cially developed for steeper inclinations and secures the stability on slopes. For example, a friction angle of about 33° can be achieved witha combination of Carbo fol® Megafriction and a Secutex® nonwoven geotextile. ‘Advantage: Weld protection strips and lateral marking ‘The Carbofol® geomembranes are provided with a white [ised cotati ‘edge mark on both sides. These edge marks indicate the Sretas pation recommended areas of overlapping and are also a visual hmmuso. aid during the instala- tion, Furthermore, a thin protective sheet (~150mm wide) is attached to both edges and is peeled off ‘immediately prior to the welding process to pro- vide an absolutely clean welding area ‘Advantage: High melt flow index Carbofol® geomembranes feature a melt flow index (MFI) between 1 and 39/10 min tested at 190°C/5kg and thus have the advantage of a large welding window. This isa factor which makes Carbofol® geomembranes flexible and easy to handle during on-site installation. The speed at wi welding processes can be cared out on Carbofol® geomen: branes is distinctly higher than that of other liners with an MFT less than 1g/10min. This gives Carbofol® yet another major benefit during on-site installation and welding.APPLICATION Orns ICN LOOMIS The Saudi Company for Precious Metals (SCPM) is a ee ce ee es ‘owned by Saudi Arabian Mining.
