Comparison of HDPE and LDPE geomembranes and their engineering application guide

29-05-2025

Product Features Comparison

HDPE geomembrane (high-density polyethylene)

High strength: high tensile strength, excellent puncture resistance


Chemical resistance: can resist corrosion from most chemicals


High temperature resistance: wide applicable temperature range (-60°C to +60°C)


Low permeability: extremely low water vapor permeability


UV resistance: more durable after adding UV resistance agent


LDPE geomembrane (low-density polyethylene)

High flexibility: high elongation, adaptable to uneven settlement


Low temperature resistance: maintains good performance in extremely cold environment


Convenient construction: soft texture, easy to lay and weld


Environmental protection: recyclable, excellent environmental protection performance


Economical: relatively low cost per unit area


Engineering application recommendation

Engineering types recommended to use HDPE geomembrane

Landfill: high strength and high chemical stability required


Sewage treatment pool: environment with high corrosion resistance requirements


Mining engineering: places with high requirements for puncture resistance and wear resistance


Large reservoirs: large-scale water conservancy projects that require long-term stable anti-seepage


Chemical park anti-seepage: areas with strict requirements for chemical substance isolation


Project types where LDPE geomembranes are recommended


Agricultural reservoirs: projects that need to accommodate slight deformation of the foundation


Artificial lake landscapes: projects that seek easy and cost-effective construction


Temporary anti-seepage projects: occasions where short-term use or frequent replacement is required


Projects in low-temperature areas: anti-seepage needs in cold climates


Roof gardens: application scenarios that require lightweight, flexible materials


Professional advice


Our technical team recommends that the following factors should be considered when selecting a project:


Project service life requirements


Ambient temperature range


Possibility of foundation settlement


Budget constraints


Possibility of chemical contact


"Choosing the right type of geomembrane is critical to the long-term performance of the project," said our technical director. "We can provide customers with free technical consultation and on-site evaluation services to ensure that the most appropriate anti-seepage solution is selected for each project."
