Plastatech IG geomembrane was developed for applications such as landfills, canals, ponds and other containment purposes. This geomembrane is formulated to withstand UV exposure, atmospheric pollutants and harsh chemicals commonly found in industrial settings.
Plastatech IG geomembrane offers excellent lay-flat characteristics and meets PGI-1104 and ASTM D7176 requirements. It is available in 10, 20, and 30 mil thicknesses. Standard colors are gray or black; other colors and thicknesses are available by special order.
