Product Description
GPF HDPE Colored, Smooth Geomembrane is a high quality, Colored product; that is manufactured in our state-of-the-art Saudi Arabian facility. GPF uses pure HDPE polyethylene virgin polymer, colored master-batch, and antioxidants with UV stabilizer. No other additives, filters or extenders are used. It is used in a lining application that require high quality and durable geomembrane with a special color. Chemical resistance, Stress crack resistance, High mechanical properties, Dimensional stability and UV stabilization are main features for GPF Colored, Smooth Geomembrane. White, Blue and Beige colored geomembrane are produced as per the customer’s needs. All GPF HDPE Products are produced with specification that meets or exceeds GRI-GM13

Notes:
- One (1) measurement taken every 1 meter along roll width – 10% lowest individual of 10 values.
- Carbon Black Dispersion (only near spherical agglomerates) for 10 different views: 9 in Categories 1 or 2 and 1 in Category 3.
- Standard test conditions: 190 oC / 2.16 kg.
- Roll Width and Length have a tolerance of ± 1%.
