Durable Geosynthetic Solutions
Geoloy
Wonpoong’s geosynthetic solutions provide significant durability and remarkable chemical resistance. The Geoloy series is used for a wide range of geosynthetic reinforcement products and terrain stabilization designs. Geoloy’s strong resistance to chemicals and weathering is especially designed for applications with landfills, manufacturing pond liners, municipal wastewater ponds, geosynthetic containment lining products, oil storage, and various chemical protection solutions.
KEY FEATURES OF THE GEOLOY® SERIES
Remarkable Resistance to Chemicals
As indicated in the ASTM D543-87 modified standard, Wonpoong conducted the immersion test that evaluates resistance to chemical reagents and simulates performance in potential chemical environments. Chemical reagents can include lubricants, fuels, cleaning agents, acidic materials or alkaline ones, which can be deadly products. The expected outcome is that when the Geoloy material comes into contact with such reagents, chemical resistance data sheets are evaluated. Geoloy has a remarkable resistance to a wide range of chemical reagents.
Weather Resistance
Resistance to weathering is the stability against various factors that may influence the durability. Our R&D center has tested the effects of water, UV exposure, and high and low temperature circumstances on Geoloy, and thereby successfully fulfilled the ASTM D6878 standard.
High Durability
We ran several tests, including observation of changes in dimensions, appearance, strength properties such as the tensile and tear strengths, and adhesion under various exposure conditions and temperatures. With years of developing industry-comprehensive know-how, Geoloy has optimized its durability and performance.
Easy-to-Fabricate Material
The Geoloy series is compatible with a comprehensive range of welding equipment. It is suitable for high-frequency welding, hot air welding, or any other welding adhesion equipment. Geoloy is simple and easy to fabricate, since its material is flexible, yet structurally stable and strong.
