S SChemical Resistance ChartGSE is the world s leading supplier of high quality, polyethylene geomembranes and geonets. GSE polyethylene geomembranes and geonets are resistant to a great number and combinations of chemicals. Note that the effect of chemicals on any material is influenced by a number of variable factors such as temperature, concentration, exposed area and duration. Many tests have been performed that use geomembranes and geonets and certain specific Chemical mixtures. Naturally, however, every mixture of chemicals cannot be tested for, and various criteria may be used to judge performance. Reported performance ratings may not apply to all applications of a given material in the same Chemical . Therefore, these ratings are offered as a guide only.

5 2 Chemical Resistance ChartNotes:(S) Satisfactory: Liner material is resistant to the given reagent at the given concentration and temperature. No mechanical or Chemical degradation is observed.(L) Limited Application Possible: Liner material may reflect some attack. Factors such as concentration, pressure and temperature directly affect liner performance against the given media. Application, however, is possible under less severe conditions, lower concentration, secondary containment, additional liner protections, etc.(U) Unsatisfactory: Liner material is not resistant to the given reagent at the given concentration and temperature. Mechanical and/or Chemical degradation is observed.
