BTL™ geomembranes are comprised of two product
families: geomembranes marked with „A” serve long
term applications with long warranty periods, while
liners marked with „N” are for shorter term applications
with shorter warranty periods.

Lightweight alternative to HDPE, EPDM and PVC materials.
Extremely lightweight, very strong.

BTL™ geomembranes combine the strengths of HDPE, EPDM and PVC liners. Nonetheless they
are much lighter, their strength is outstanding:

• very strong, yet flexible

• long lifetime
• resistant to a wide range of chemicals
• dimensionally stable, with minimal to no thermal expansion and contraction

Special coatings

Woven structure Special coatings

The high material strength and

the extreme low weight is the
result of the material structure.
The tough structure of BTL™
geomembranes is created by
Highly resistant to tears and punctures
High abrasion and hydrostatic resistance
thanks to special coatings
The unique coatings provide excellent heat
seaming weldability

the combination of woven HDPE Technologically UV-stable

scrims and special polyolefin Retains flexibility as low as -65°C
coatings.

Field installation is faster, less expensive and less risky.
Can be prefabricated in huge panels.

Depending on the thickness, BTL™ geomembranes can be prefabricated into several thousand
square meter big panels.

As a result, a project prepared like this requires a lot less field welding, which speeds up the
installation and reduces the need for manpower. This makes it possible to significantly lower the
costs and risks as well. The installation is less exposed to the weather and ground conditions.

BTL™ geomembranes are sound solutions in a variety of areas.

Versatile material, wide range of applications.

Thanks to the unique features of BTL™ geomembranes, they mean a competitive (and often sole)
alternative in a high variety off applications, for example:

Water containment Municipal

• Garden ponds, aesthetic features • Fire reservoirs

• Golf course and wakeboard ponds • Landfill reservoirs
• Settling basins • Road construction
• Drainage systems • Stormwater ponds

Agriculture, Mining,
aquaculture Oil and gas industry

• Irrigation canals and ponds • Tailings, evaporation ponds

• Animal waste lagoons • Heap leach pads
• Hydroponics and aquaponics • Above ground impoundments
• Technical covers (produce, equipment) • Hydraulic fracturing

BTL™-40A and 45A: maximum performance.

BTL™ geomembranes hold up even under the harshest conditions.

The strongest versions of BTL™ geomembrabes are the BTL™-40A and 45A, yet their weight is
only around the half of the weight of a 1.5 mm HDPE membrane.
