The press release described the HydraFlex Ultra HU-Series: geomembranes are produced with flexible linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) resin to provide elongation, tensile, and impact strengths.
The release noted that HydraFlex Ultra is formulated to meet or exceed the requirements of GRI–GM17 standard specification for LLDPE geomembranes. It is recommended for use in containment applications requiring outdoor longevity, chemical resistance, and durability, including use in cold weather environments. It is also designed for flexibility, conforming to uneven surfaces, and performing well in applications such as fish-safe requirements for aquaculture and coal-ash impoundment capping for the solid waste market, according to the release.
