Plastatech OR geomembrane provides protection from exposure to oils, fuels and harsh chemicals commonly found in industrial and oil refinery settings. This geomembrane was developed as a solution for primary and secondary containment of oil products and industrial chemicals.
Plastatech OR geomembrane offers excellent chemical resistance and maximum flexibility, elongation and tensile strength for long-term design performance in accordance with various ASTM standards. Standard thickness is 30 mil; other thicknesses can be manufactured upon request. Available colors include black and gray.
