Earthshield LLDPE geomembranes offer increased flexibility and cost-effectiveness, allowing them to withstand significant unevenness and settlement. Due to their proven performance, Earthshield LLDPE geomembranes are widely used in a variety of applications, including as a cost-effective alternative to clay and concrete lining systems. Compared to other LLDPE geomembranes, such as flexible PVC geomembranes, Earthshield LLDPE geomembranes lack plasticizers and fillers that can cause premature cracking and shorten service life, resulting in easier welding and a more cost-effective construction.
EarthShield LLDPE Geomembrane (Linear Low-Density Polyethylene Geomembrane) is a flexible, high-quality waterproofing material made from linear low-density polyethylene resin through co-extrusion blow molding or flat extrusion technology. Offering great flexibility and outstanding resistance to low temperature and ultraviolet exposure. The max-width is 8m, it is more flexible and easy to install.
Earthshield LLDPE Geomembrane is non-toxic, tasteless, and odorless, with a density between 0.915 and 0.935g/cm3. It is ethylene and a small number of high-grade α-olefins (such as Butene-1, Hexene-1, Octene-1, Tetramethylpentene) -1, etc.) A copolymer is formed by high-pressure or low-pressure polymerization under the action of a catalyst. The molecular structure of conventional LLDPE Geomembrane is characterized by its linear main chain, with only a few or no long branches, but contains some short branches. The absence of long-chain branches makes the polymer more crystalline.
LLDPE Geomembrane Thickness: LLDPE geomembrane thickness: the thicker the thickness, the higher the price.
LLDPE Geomembrane Length: length affects the quantity of load in the container, and will affect the transport cost.
LLDPE Geomembrane Width: Width will affect the number of containers, and will affect the sea freight cost
LLDPE Geomembrane Color: Regular is white color, other colors need extra material to clean the machine
LLDPE Geomembrane Quantity: The quantity more, the transport cost will lower
LLDPE Geomembrane Raw material:100% virgin raw material is the best quality, HDPE Geomembrane price high than LLDPE Geomembrane
LLDPE Geomembrane Standard: Different standard requirement the performance is different
LLDPE Geomembrane Delivery time: If delivery time is an emergency, we can let workers overtime 24 hours product
Payment: Regular is 30%TT deposit if pay 100% TT deposit can be cheaper a little.
LLDPE Geomembrane Characteristics
LLDPE geomembrane is known for its excellent flexibility, elongation, and puncture resistance. Compared with HDPE geomembrane, it provides:
Better flexibility — Ideal for uneven or irregular surfaces.
Higher tear and impact resistance — Reduces risk of cracking or damage during installation.
Good chemical resistance — Suitable for a wide range of acids, alkalis, and salts.
LLDPE geomembrane is ideal for projects requiring flexible waterproofing and containment:
Mining industry – Heap leaching pads, tailing ponds, and evaporation ponds
Aquaculture & Fish Ponds – Lining for fish and shrimp farms
Landfill projects – Bottom liner and capping systems
Water reservoirs & irrigation ponds – Prevents seepage and water loss
Industrial wastewater & chemical containment – For chemical plants and oil refineries

FAQ:
Q: What is the difference between LLDPE geomembrane and HDPE geomembrane?
A: LLDPE geomembrane is more flexible than HDPE geomembrane, HDPE geomembrane service life is longer than LLDPE geomembrane.
Q: What does LLDPE geomembrane mean?
A: Linear low-density polyethylene.
Q: What thickness can you produce for the LLDPE geomembrane?
A: 0.6-3.0mm thickness can be customized.
Q: What’s the standard of your LLDPE geomembrane?
A: We are ASTM GRI-GM17 standard.
Q: What color can produce?
A: Black is a popular color, other blue, green, and white colors can be customize to your requirement.
Q: Which is stronger LLDPE geomembrane or HDPE geomembrane?
A: HDPE geomembrane performance (like tensile strength, tear strength, puncture resistance) is stronger than LLDPE geomembrane.
Q: Is LLDPE geomembrane cheaper than HDPE geomembrane?
A: Yes, LLDPE geomembrane is cheaper than HDPE geomembrane.
Q: Can you melt LLDPE geomembrane?
A: We can melt the LLDPE geomembrane with nonwoven geotextile.
Q: Can you mix LDPE geomembrane and HDPE geomembrane?
A: Yes. We can as your requirement to mix them.
Q: The main purpose of the characteristics of PE and other materials and the difference between each piece?
A: Pe is usually divided into three types, namely high-density polyethylene (HDPE), high-pressure low-density polyethylene (LDPE), and linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE). The film is its main processed product, followed by sheets and coatings, bottles, cans, barrels, and other hollow containers, and various other injection and blow molding products, pipes, wires, and cable insulation and sheaths. Mainly used for packaging, agriculture, transportation environmental protection, water conservancy, waterproofing, seepage prevention, etc.
