For the most part, all geomembranes have a similar broad function: A fluid barrier. When comparing, the confusion lies in the fact that they are manufactured by different methods and constructed differently, which result in varying properties to accomplish the broad fluid barrier function. Plus, the definition of “fluid barrier” is subjective depending on a host of site, application, fluid composition and regulatory factors. Key geomembrane properties are required to support the overall function.
