Firestone EPDM Geomembrane
Features and benefitsFirestone EPDM Geomembrane is an elastomeric synthetic rubber membrane with a cross linked polymer structure resulting in a chemically stable membrane with unique featuresand benefits.
Highly flexible even at low temperatures
Firestone EPDM Geomembrane is highly flexible even at low temperatures down to -45 °C, offering year round installation. This flexibility enables the membrane to adapt to irregular shapes in the substrate and offers excellent lay flat characteristics.
High elasticity and tensile strength
Firestone EPDM Geomembrane is highly elastic and can be elongated over 300% in all directions without cracking to accommodate earth settlements.
Hydrostatic pressure resistance
Firestone EPDM Geomembrane provides almost unlimited hydrostatic pressure resistance compared to other common geomembranes allowing the membrane to be used in deep, large-sized water reservoirs.
Dimensional stability
Firestone EPDM Geomembrane can be easily deformed but will return to its original size and shape, unlike thermoplastic membranes that can undergo a permanent deformation and thickness reduction.
Long-term durability
The first Firestone rubber lining installations dating from 1973 are living proof of the membrane’s long lasting performance. Firestone EPDM Geomembrane offers unmatched resistance to UV, ozone and extreme temperatures, with no change of physical properties regardless whether the membrane is exposed or covered. It contains no plasticizers that could migrate and lead to premature membrane failure. If needed, EPDM Geomembrane can be easily repaired even after decades of service.
Easy to install
Firestone EPDM Geomembrane is available in large seamless panel sizes up to 15 m wide and 30,5 m long resulting in short installation times and fewer field seams for large surfaces. Additionally, Firestone’s QuickSeam™ Tape System provides a proven field seaming solution without requiring special tools.
Chemical resistance
Firestone EPDM Geomembrane exhibits high resistance to alkali and acid rain, nitrates and phosphates in solution, alcohols, soil chemicals and micro-organisms. Contact with hydrocarbons, petrol, hot bitumen, grease, oils and chlorine must be avoided.
Environmentally friendly
Firestone EPDM Geomembrane is a chemically stable membrane without environmental pollutants. The membrane’s long life expectancy and recycling options, combined with its use for water conservation and environmental protection, make it a green geomembrane solution. Furthermore, Firestone’s commitment to the environment has lead to numerous initiatives throughout the company including an ISO 14001 certified Environmental Management System at its EPDM manufacturing facilities.
