Improved stress-cracking resistance in high-density polyethylene (HDPE) geomembranes has been a quest of our industry and a hot research topic for years. The Geosynthetic Institute (GSI) has been working in this area since the mid-1980s. The GRI GM13 standard specification for HDPE geomembranes has moved the ASTM D5397 (appendix) single point notch constant tension load result requirement from 200 to 300 and finally to 500 hours over the last 30 years. It is interesting to note that some HDPE geomembrane formulations have a considerably higher value. |
