Carbofol®

is a chemical resistant geomembrane with smooth of structure-embossed surface for sealing applications.

Carbofol® is multifunctional

Carbofol® geomembranes provide a complete seal against even the most toxic substances. Routinely installed as a component of landfill base seals as well as caps Carbofol® protects groundwater from contamination. Even the strictest regulations and controls for the storage, filling, hand ling, manufacturing, treat ment and use of contaminated liquids, such as Germany’s Water Conser vation Act (WHG) and Britain’s Environ mental Pro tection Act (EPA), are easily satis fied with Carbofol®. The product is also suitable for potable water and non-toxiccon tainment appli cations such as water conveyance structures, canals or ponds. Indi vidual solutions can also be developed for steeper slopes utilising our structured-surface ma terial with higher friction coefficients for greater safety.

Carbofol® is safe

In 1989 Carbofol® became the first geomembrane certified by the Federal Institute for Material Testing and Research (BAM). Currently, Carbofol® HDPE 507 (smooth and structured) 2.5 mm thick are BAM certified for use in landfill engineering. For ground water pro tection applications, Carbofol® geomembranes (2.0 mm) are certified by the German Institute for Con struc tion Technology (DIBt) and are of course also available according to GM 13 requirements. Fur ther international certifications for Carbofol® have been issued in, amongst others, most European countries. Extensive manufacturing and third-party qua lity control allow complete documentation of pro duc tion from the raw material to the finished product. Carbofol® is ex treme ly durable, and is both extremly che mically and UV resistant. Welding of seams and repairs is done by state-of-the-art welding equipment which records all per tinent data as welding is per formed. Air pressure tests or va cuum tests verify the integrity of the seams so you can be confident in the finished job.

Carbofol® is economical

Utilising the most advanced wel ding technology and with autho rised installation experts, quick and efficient installation programmes are possible. The superior weld abi lity of Carbofol® means quicker installation facilitating a speedier approval of your projects.

Carbofol® is simple

Side markings on the rolls indicate proper overlap distances for the welding crews and protective edge-strips main tain a clean surface prior to welding. Structural details such as attachments and penetrations are easily carried out di rect ly on site. The entire process is effortless for the installer.

Conclusion:

Decades of successful applications are proof of the high quality of Carbofol® and our commitment to excellence. Industry knows Carbofol® for its problem-free manufacturing and instal l a tion even when meeting the strictest permitting requirements. This translates into the safest and highest quality available for your projects.
