BREAKING NEWS
Solmax Discovers Adding Graphene Platelets to HDPE Geomembranes Give Unexpected Improvements in Solar Reflectivity and Allows Higher Asperity Height
The HDPE geomembrane with graphene structure has at least 1.5 times higher solar’ reflective index when compared to a HDPE geomembrane without graphene material as measured according to ASTM E903-20.
The HDPE geomembrane with graphene structure has at least a 20% higher asperity height as measured by ASTM D7466 test compared to a HDPE geomembrane with 2.5% carbon black.

Enhancing Embankment Dam and Levee Resilience Against Overtopping Erosion: The HydroTurf® Geosynthetic Solution
HydroTurf® is an advanced revetment solution engineered to protect embankment dams and riverine levees from erosion caused by overtopping events. Its design provides an impermeable geomembrane protected by engineered turf with a high strength cementitious infill, resulting in a fibre reinforced high-strength concrete matrix. The system provides a durable and impermeable barrier against erosive forces.
