As its name implies, linear low-density polyethylene is a lower-density polymer (<0.939 g/cm3) yielding increased material flexibility. LLDPE is mainly used where long-term large settlements are anticipated such as landfill covers.

Polyvinyl chloride is a thermoplastic material manufactured from a mixture of vinyl compounds, plasticizers and stabilizers. PVC geomembranes have unique mechanical properties such as a high degree of flexibility, an excellent elongation percentage, a reduced expansion coefficient and considerable puncture resistance. Although polyvinyl chloride stiffens significantly as temperatures drop, special formulations have been developed that allow flexing below 15 °F (-10 °C). PVC can also be treated and certified NSF61 to hold potable water suitable for human consumption. Using a state-of-the-art dielectric process and infrared technology, Solmax manufactures pre-assembled panels capable of covering surface areas of up to 4,500 m² per panel. Thicknesses range from 0.25 mm to 1.5 mm. Factory seams are the work of experienced technicians operating in a controlled environment free of contaminants.

PVC also comes in a potable grade, enabling its use for potable water containment as per National Sanitation Foundation Standard 61, “Drinking Water System Components.” Water stored in contact with potable grade PVC is accordingly safe for human consumption.

Solmax C-Series, AKS Technology -Concrete Protection Liner

Solmax is a distributor in the Americas for Anchor Lining Systems, a specialist      manufacturer of high-performance Concrete Protection Liner (CPL) materials.
Anchor Knob Sheet (AKS) is a robust state-of-the-art liner designed to protect concrete structures in chemically aggressive environments. This cast-in concrete protection liner is made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), polypropylene (PP) or linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), ensuring unrivalled performance and easy customization to suit a wide range of applications and requirements.
AKS is attached to concrete structures by means of 1,230 anchor knobs per m2 embedded into the concrete. The optimal size, shape and number of knobs ensure extremely high pull-off resistance. The anchors are formed simultaneously as part of the HDPE liner during the extrusion manufacturing process.
The high chemical resistance of HDPE, along with proven welding and testing systems, ensure that sewers, manholes, pump stations and other concrete structures operating in chemically aggressive environments are provided with long-term corrosion protection. Additional benefits, such as increased carrying capacity when used for liquid conveyance due to a low friction coefficient, make AKS a cost-effective solution for a wide variety of lining applications.

LG XPROgeo Series

Since 2008, Solmax has been offering the LG XPRO range of specialty geomembranes, which answer the technical requirements in harsh applications. For instance in some industrial and petrochemical sectors, where PE and PVC may not be the appropriate choice.

• The LG XPRO geomembranes requires prefabrication to be workable on site. Solmax offers you the chance to benefit from its prefabrication expertise and proposes panels up to 4000 m2. With the automated line of prefabrication, using state-of-the-art dielectric systems, extended QA/QC procedures operated by Solmax in Canada, we can now offer a very cost effective solution with quality meeting the highest international standards.
• Solmax can provide installation services everywhere in the world through its network of approved installers.
• Solmax is providing technical support to aid in the proper selection of LG XPRO membranes.
