INDUSTRY NEWS
New Vapor Barrier Liner Used to Mitigate Contaminants on Brownfield Sites Awarded U.S. Patent
The new technology “utilizes metalized film, a material proven to be highly effective at preventing the diffusion of contaminant gases,” a company press release says. “The advanced composite membrane prevents corrosion of the encapsulated metalized film and provides multiple layers of protection — including a reinforced grid geomembrane and geotextile that ensure greater tensile strength and enhanced durability while minimizing the potential for punctures during installation of the contaminant vapor barrier system. These composite membranes are scientifically proven to provide superior chemical resistance, constructability and durability compared to older asphalt latex membranes (ALMs) adapted from the waterproofing industry.”
