Lining the
Mining Industry
Western
Environmental Liner Co. has several types of specialized materials that are especially blended for the
containment of oil and oil based liquids, sludge, salt water, waste water and contaminated soil.
For temporary containments, Standard or Oil Resistant
PVC's may suit your application requirements. For long-term
containment, or containment situations that require high puncture resistance, durability and extreme UV resistance, XR-5® may be the liner of choice.
Our staff will help to advise you on a liner for your
application, depending on your application requirements,
chemicals being contained and term of life needed with the
liner.

XR-5
XR-5®
material offers maximum performance such as a highly
resistant, non-degradable membrane surface with
extreme puncture and tear resistance, dimensional
stability under high loads and extreme temperature
fluctuations. XR-5® is also easily heat weldable, as
the coating compounds bond molecularly when heat
welded.
XR-5® is not a scrim supported flexible liner, but it
is an extremely tough woven composite fabric of Dupont
Dacron® polyester fibers that has been molecularly
coated with sophisticated compounds that are minimally
degradable in adverse weather conditions and
environments. With this combination, the liner
and coating offer a unique balance of performance
features.
XR-5
one side coated per pass assures the bonding process
and a very high quality finished material. The
exclusive coating compound contains Dupont Elvaloy®,
which is essentially noncrystalline and therefore not
susceptible to environmental stress
cracking.
XR-5's flexibility makes it possible to easily fit the
liner around irregularly shaped applications.
XR-5®also is proven to prevent seepage of caustic
chemicals.
XR-5's
resistance to chemicals is evident since the
geomembrane has a long history with hydrocarbon
containment and has been lab tested for over ten years
in constant contact with
crude oil.
Additionally, field seams and CQA are minimal since
the flexible XR-5 ®can be factory manufactured into
panels approximately 15,000 square feet each.
Nobody wants to trust his lined application to untried
liners or liners with known problems. With a
20-year-plus track record in tough applications throughout the world,
XR-5® geomembrane is the first choice when max tensile
strength, high UV resistance and minimal thermal
expansion and contraction are required.
PVC Containment
Oil
Resistant
PVC and Standard PVC can be used in many applications including
berms, secondary containment, wastewater pits,
saltwater pits, storage tanks, baffles and more.
PVC
materials have long-term use
if the application is covered or not exposed to direct
sun exposure. Water, soil, etc. Covering the liner will provide a barrier between
the UV rays and
the liner.
For short term (1-3years) containment in an exposed
application, PVC materials are an excellent choice.
