How is Water Management Industry Driving Demand for Geomembranes?

The population across the globe is increasing at a rapid pace. Countries including China and India, especially, are registering a swift rise in the population. Owing to this, the consumption of resources available has risen as well. Moreover, the current resources are proving to be inadequate for taking care of needs of this rising population. One of the most basic resources that all human beings need for survival is water, and its availability has been decreasing swiftly. Ascribed to this, governments of different countries are focusing on water treatment plants for making sure that people are provided with clean and healthy drinking water. 

 

This is further resulting in the increasing demand for geomembranes, thereby leading to the growth of the global geomembranes market. Synthetic membrane barriers or liners that are used for controlling the migration of fluid in a manmade structure, project, or system is referred to as a geomembrane. They are made from thin polymeric sheets, which are sometimes made by infusing geotextiles with elastomers, asphalt, or polymer sprays. Attributed to this, geomembranes also fine applications in the geotechnical engineering industry.

Geomembranes have interface shear strength, high tensile strength, and are resistant to tear and impact. Some key applications of these membranes are mining, water containment, and solid waste containment. Different types of geomembranes are low density polyethylene (LDPE), high density polyethylene (HDPE), polyvinyl chloride, linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE), ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber, and polypropylene. HDPE is a hydrocarbon polymer that is prepared from petroleum by the catalytic process. HDPE polymers can withstand high temperatures and are light in weight. They are primarily utilized for manufacturing and packaging of edible products including yogurt tubs and cereal box liners. 


LDPE geomembranes have superior elongation and flexibility properties, durability, increased frictional resistance, and ultraviolet and chemical resistance. They are utilized for packaging, electrical cables, and transportation. LLDPE is a blended form of LDPE and has improved tensile strength, flexibility, and comfortability. These polymers are utilized for films which need high amount of strength for absorbing impacts puncturing or tearing. Geographically, North America is predicted to emerge as a major geomembranes market in the coming years, as these products are widely being demanded in Canada and the U.S. for tunnel liners. 

 

In addition to this, geomembranes are also being used in the region for preventing soil erosion in water bodies and land area, in order to promote vegetation growth. These polymers are also utilized for mining processes including excavation of gold, copper, and magnesium in Canada and the U.S. Other than this, the demand for geomembranes is also predicted to rise in Europe in the years to come.

Hence, geomembranes are being demanded due to the surging need for water management across the globe.
