High-Temperature and UV Exposure: How to Protect Geomembrane from Premature Aging

Engineering answer

Black HDPE relies on carbon black to absorb ultraviolet rays and to delay aging with antioxidants, but persistent high temperatures will accelerate the consumption of antioxidants. Purchases should be nuclear to carbon black content with a decentralized, standard/high-pressure OIT and raw material system; design should reduce unnecessary exposure; avoid local heat sources and high-stress fractures, and establish regular inspections for long-term outdoor use.

Common risks and addressing them

  • The only way to judge UV is by black.The decline in the use of recycled materials or carbon black could still be premature.
  • Forced repairs in high temperaturesThe state of the membrane's heating and swelling affects the stress after patch cooling.

  2. Control of stressKeep heat in the high temperatures to avoid tightening.
  3. Establishment of a tourist checkpointThe main focus is on checking the seams, cracks, water lines and the solids.
