Q: We have a question in regard to the heat resistance of geomembranes. We are interested in paving a road over a geomembrane with hot mix asphalt and want to know if the geomembrane will continue to function as a moisture barrier? A: The answer to this depends very much on the formulation from which the geomembrane is made. As you can see in Table 1, from Robert M. Koerner's Designing with Geosynthetics book, the melt temperatures of polymers are very different. Knowing that hot mix asphalt arrives on-site at 300℉ (150℃), some geomembranes work better than others in this application. |
