HAZGARD® series of geomembranes


EPI's HAZGARD® brand of geomembranes is specially designed to meet your requirements in secondary containment applications.
 
IMAGE1 Secondary containment geomembranes need to be tough and flexible for installation in any condition. HAZGARD® line of geomembranes are designed to address all secondary containment applications.

HAZGARD® 5000 HT is the newest addition to the HAZGARD® brand. HAZGARD® 5000 HT is a very high strength material with tensile strengths in excess of any other standard geomembrane product. In addition, the HAZGARD® 5000 HT has a chemically resistant coating that resists hydrocarbons and many common and unique chemicals. HAZGARD® 5000 HT is also designed for both high temperature secondary containment applications. Please see our Geomembrane - High Temp section for more information on HAZGARD® 500 & 1000 high temperature secondary containments.

Since 1989, HAZGARD® 100 & 250 has been effectively used for many secondary containment applications. The unsupported HAZGARD® 100 is ideal for small secondary containments, hydrocarbon vapor liners under buildings, soil remediation pads, and cut-off curtains to stop the movement of underground hydrocarbon contaminants. HAZGARD® 250 is a fabric supported material with the same coating as the HAZGARD® 100. The supported version is ideal for suspending curtains in deep vertical trenches for underground cut-off curtains, for larger secondary containments, and for applications where the strength of the material will protect it during installation. Both HAZGARD® 100 and 250 can be easily solvent bonded and are ideal for installation by contractors and owners.

The HAZGARD® brand also includes two ULC Listed geomembranes. Please see our Geomembrane - UL Listed section for more details on the HAZGARD® 500 and 1000 UL Listed geomembranes.

Each and every liner panel we produce is a custom panel. The way we set up our shop is unique in that our shop welders produce prefabricated panels to best match your containment area. We size each panel to fit, without waste, in a logical sequence in your containment area. In containments with irregular shapes we size our panels to best accommodate the irregular size.

There are no theoretical limits to the size of the liner panels that we can prefabricate but there are some practical limits, notably panel weight. Panel weight is important because of the limits of handling equipment that will be available in the field. HAZGARD® liners are normally limited to a maximum panel weight of 2,500 lbs (1,200 kg); however, if a skilled installation crew is available then a panel of up to 4,000 lbs (1,800 kg) is possible.

Panels are accordion folded in one direction and then folded or rolled in the other direction. Unfolding instructions and dimensions are marked on the individual liner panel. Each panel is wrapped in an opaque, weather resistant covering suitable for shipment and storage.

All shop fabricated seams are 100% visually inspected by the welding operator. Every panel is tested for Film Tear Bond and destructively tested in peel and shear. Quality control reports are available with each panel produced.
