Uses and Applications

Firestone Lining Systems are based on EPDM Geomebranes offering dependable performance for garden ponds, landscape ponds, agricultural pools, irrigation canals, artificial snow reservoirs, landfill caps, aquaculture, water canals, ground water protection to name a few.

Liners offer a cost-effective way to reduce water loss through porous soil and prevent contaminated seepage to the ground water.

Liners are easy to install and require limited ongoing maintenance.

Liners are UV resistant and are a safe environment for fish and plant life.

The success of Firestone EPDM Geomembranes can be attributed to their unique combination of benefits:

• High flexibility: Firestone EPDM Geomembranes remain highly flexible even at very low temperatures (down to -45 °C), enabling year round installation in a variety of climates and terrain.
• High elongation: Firestone EPDM Geomembranes can elongate over 300%, which enables the membrane to stretch and conform to objects in the subgrade.
• Superior weathering resistance: Firestone EPDM Geomembranes offer unmatched resistance to ultraviolet radiation and ozone.
• Quick and easy installation: Firestone EPDM Geomembranes are available in large seamless panel sizes up to 15m in width and 61m in length resulting in fewer field seams and less installation time.
• Low maintenance: Firestone EPDM Geomembranes require little or no regular maintenance after installation. The Geomembrane can survive normal environmental exposure for well over 30 years.
• Environmentally friendly: Firestone EPDM Geomembrane is an inert material with low environmental impact during production and use. In addition, Firestone's EPDM manufacturing facilities have received ISO 14001 certification, a testimony of the company's commitment to environmental management.
