Svojstva od PVC geomembrana

PVC geomembrane remains flexible even in low-temperature environments (-20℃ to -40℃), without becoming brittle.

With an elongation rate of 300%–500%, PVC geomembrane can adapt to uneven settlement and deformation, reducing the risk of cracks caused by ground movement.

Stabilized with UV and antioxidant additives, PVC geomembrane offers reliable weathering and anti-aging performance, with a service life of 20+ years.

PVC geomembrane supports hot-air or high-frequency welding, ensuring high seam strength and excellent impermeability.

PVC geomembrane can be produced in transparent or opaque types. Transparent liners allow light penetration, useful for agriculture or solar-related projects.

Compared with HDPE geomembrane, PVC offers better flexibility and welding performance at a lower cost, delivering excellent cost-effectiveness.

Upoznati PVC geomembrana

PVC geomembrane is a flexible, impermeable liner made from polyvinyl chloride resin with added plasticizers and stabilizers. It is widely used for waterproofing and anti-seepage applications in civil, agricultural, and construction projects.

PVC geomembrane material is based on polyvinyl chloride, blended with UV stabilizers, antioxidants, and eco-friendly plasticizers. Compared with HDPE, it offers higher flexibility and easier welding, making it ideal for underground and roofing waterproofing.

Typical PVC geomembrane thickness ranges from 0.5 mm to 3.0 mm. Standard sizes include 0.75 mm, 1.0 mm, 1.5 mm, and 2.0 mm, available in rolls or sheets up to 8 meters wide.

Yes, PVC geomembrane is an impermeable liner with very low permeability. It provides reliable waterproofing for basements, tunnels, reservoirs, and ponds.

PVC geomembrane is mainly used for seepage control and waterproofing in multiple industries:

  • Water conservancy projects: reservoirs, dams, canals

  • Environmental engineering: landfill covers, sewage treatment ponds

  • Building waterproofing: basements, roofs, tunnels

  • Agricultural projects: aquaculture ponds, irrigation canals

  • Landscape engineering: artificial lakes, decorative ponds

⚠️ Not recommended for:

  • Extreme low-temperature conditions (below -40℃)

  • Long-term contact with highly corrosive chemicals

The service life of PVC geomembrane is typically 15–25 years, depending on thickness, installation quality, and exposure conditions. In underground or covered projects, lifespan can be even longer.

PVC Geomembrane Installation,Zavarivanje & CQA

Metode zavarivanja

PVC geomembranes are thermoplastic materials, which means they can be welded using heat-based methods to create strong, watertight seams. Below are the commonly used welding techniques:

  • Zavarivanje vrućim zrakom
    Ideal for PVC materials, especially in field applications. This method uses a stream of hot air to heat the seam surfaces and a roller to press them together. It is suitable for detailed work and small repairs.

  • Solvent Welding
    Commonly used for factory seams or prefabricated panels. A chemical solvent softens the surface of the PVC, allowing it to fuse without added heat. This method ensures molecular bonding but requires controlled conditions.

  • Wedge Welding (Modified for PVC)
    Less common than with HDPE, but some installers use modified wedge welders with lower temperatures to create continuous seams for large-scale PVC liner installations.

  • Extrusion Welding (Not Recommended for PVC)
    Unlike HDPE, extrusion welding is not typically recommended for PVC geomembranes due to the material’s sensitivity to high heat and risk of degradation.

Seam Preparation & Overlap Requirements
  • Surface Cleaning: PVC sheets must be dry, clean, and free of dust, oil, or debris before welding. Use lint-free cloths and PVC-safe cleaning agents.

  • Širina preklapanja: A minimum overlap of 100–150 mm (4–6 inches) is required to ensure proper fusion and leak-free joints.

  • Tacking: Temporary tacking with hot air or light adhesive may be used before full seam welding to prevent misalignment in windy or uneven conditions.

Important Considerations for PVC Welding
  • Ambient Temperature: PVC welding is sensitive to ambient conditions. Optimal results are achieved between 5°C–35°C (41°F–95°F).

  • PVC Flexibility: PVC remains flexible in low temperatures, making it ideal for cold-weather installations compared to HDPE.

  • UV Protection: If exposed, consider using UV-stabilized PVC or cover with protective layers to prevent degradation over time.

Zašto odabrati WP stručnjak?

Over the years, we have established ourselves among trusted PVC geomembrane manufacturers and global PVC geomembrane distributors. Our focus is on delivering reliable liners that meet critical engineering projects.

Osnove od Wholesale PVC Geomembrane

Uključite vrstu projekta (jezerce, odlagalište, rudarstvo, rezervoar), potrebnu debljinu, površinu (glatka / teksturirana), željenu veličinu role i uvjete isporuke (FOB/CIF + luka).

Yes, free PVC geomembrane sheet samples are available for evaluation prior to bulk purchase.

Tipično vrijeme isporuke je 15-25 dana za proizvodnju, plus raspored otpreme ovisno o odredišnoj luci.

Standardna širina role za izvoz je 5,8 m, koji je optimiziran za utovar kontejnera. Veće širine kao npr 1–6 m također su dostupni, ovisno o stvarnim uvjetima utovara kontejnera. Duljina role obično se kreće od 50–150 m, prilagođen debljini. Po potrebi se mogu isporučiti gotove ploče po narudžbi.

The weight of a PVC geomembrane liner is calculated by:

Weight (kg)=Thickness (mm)×Width (m)×Length (m)×Density (g/cm³)÷1000\text{Weight (kg)} = \text{Thickness (mm)} \times \text{Width (m)} \times \text{Length (m)} \times \text{Density (g/cm³)} \div 1000

👉 For example, a 1.0 mm PVC geomembrane roll (density ~1.35 g/cm³, size 7 m × 50 m):

1.0×7×50×1.35=472.5 kg/roll1.0 \times 7 \times 50 \times 1.35 = 472.5 \, kg/roll

Kapacitet se izračunava na temelju 40HQ ≈ 25 tona težina utovara. Točan broj role ovisi o debljini i širini role; izračunavamo prema težini obloge po m² i ograničenju težine kontejnera.

Preporučena minimalna narudžba je 5000 m². Budući da je geomembrana glomazna i teška, predlažemo barem jednu 20GP kontejner za učinkovitu otpremu. Također možemo pomoći u konsolidiranje s drugim teretom ako je potrebno.

mi smo a Kineski proizvođač geomembrane, a pošiljke se mogu dogovoriti sa bilo koju veću kinesku luku kao što su Qingdao, Shanghai ili Ningbo.
