Ⅰ、Definition

HDPE geomembrane is a high density polyethylene resin as raw material, made by special process of waterproof, impermeable, corrosion resistant polymer synthetic material

Ⅱ、HDPE Geomembrane performance index

Ⅲ、Constituent element

HDPE geomembrane is mainly composed of the following substances:

1. High density polyethylene (about 97.5%) : It is a polymer polymerized from ethylene monomer and provides the basic physical and chemical properties of the geomembrane.

2. Carbon black (about 2.5%) : it can enhance the absorption capacity of geomembrane to ultraviolet light and reduce the aging effect of ultraviolet light on geomembrane.

3. Other additives: including anti-aging agents, antioxidants, UV absorbers, stabilizers, etc.

Ⅳ、Nature

Physical property

1. Appearance: The original HDPE geomembrane is usually milky in appearance, and has a certain degree of translucency in a meager cross-section.

2. Thickness: The common thickness is generally 0.2-4.0mm, and different projects choose different thickness according to actual needs.

3. Width: Generally 2.5-10m.

4. Density: The density is usually 0.93-0.97g/cm³.

Mechanical property

1. Tensile strength: HDPE geomembrane has a high tensile strength, generally ≥17MPa.

2. Elongation at break: elongation at break is generally ≥450%, with good flexibility and ductility.

3. Tear strength: right-angle tear strength ≥80N/mm, with good tear resistance.

4. Puncture strength: It has high puncture strength and can resist puncture of sharp objects.

Chemical property

1. Chemical resistance: It can resist the corrosion of most domestic and industrial chemicals, such as acids, alkalis, salts, etc.

2. Aging resistance: additives such as anti-aging agents are added, which has good aging resistance.

Other properties

1. Impermeability: It has very low water permeability and air permeability, and plays a good role in impermeability and isolation.

2. Uv resistance: carbon black and UV absorbers, etc., can be used outdoors for a long time.

3. Environmental protection: HDPE geomembrane does not contain chemical additives, nor does it undergo heat treatment, and is an environmentally friendly building material.

Ⅴ、Geomembrane price

Ⅵ、The reasons 1mm HDPE geomembrane is popular in agricultural irrigation in Nigeria:

Adapted to the climatic and geological conditions of Nigeria

1. High temperature resistance: parts of Nigeria are high in temperature, 1mm HDPE geomemofilmhas good heat resistance, can still maintain stable performance in high temperature environment.

2. Ultraviolet resistance: HDPE material has a certain anti-ultraviolet ability, after adding anti-ultraviolet agent, 1mm HDPE geomembrane can effectively resist the erosion of ultraviolet light, slow down the aging rate, and extend the service life.

3. Adapted to different geology: Nigeria has a variety of soil types, including sand, clay, etc. 1mm HDPE geomemofilm has good flexibility, can be closely fitted with soil under different geological conditions, and is not easy to crack or leak.

We will promote the modernization of agriculture

1. Support precision irrigation: Help realize the promotion of precision irrigation technology such as drip irrigation and spray irrigation, and improve irrigation efficiency and water resource utilization efficiency by reducing water leakage and evaporation.

2. Facilitate the construction of agricultural facilities:  1mm HDPE geomembrane can be rapidly constructed, shorten the construction cycle, and gain more time for agricultural production.

Environmental protection and sustainability

1. Non-toxic and harmless: HDPE material itself is non-toxic and tasteless, will not cause pollution to soil, water and crops, in line with Nigeria's environmental requirements for agricultural production, is conducive to ensuring the quality and ecological environment safety of agricultural products.

2. Recyclable: 1mm HDPE geomembrane can be recycled, reducing the production of solid waste, reducing the pressure on the environment, and having a certain degree of sustainability.

Ⅶ、1mm HDPE geomembrane in agricultural irrigation applications:

1. Irrigation channel seepage prevention: Some parts of Nigeria are relatively scarce in water resources, the use of 1mm HDPE geomembrane in irrigation channels can effectively reduce channel leakage and prevent water waste.

2. Impermeable cisterns: In order to store irrigation water, local cisterns are built. 1mm HDPE geomembrane can be used as the impermeable lining of the reservoir to prevent the water in the pool from leaking into the ground.

3. Seepage prevention of the foundation of drip irrigation and sprinkler irrigation systems: In the construction of drip irrigation and sprinkler irrigation systems, 1mm HDPE geomemofilm can be used to lay on the foundation part of the system to prevent water from leaking from the bottom or around the system to ensure the normal operation of the irrigation system.

4. Greenhouse ground impermeability: In agricultural greenhouses in Nigeria, the use of 1mm HDPE geomemofilm for ground impermeability can keep the humidity of the soil in the shed stable and avoid excessive water penetration into the ground resulting in uneven soil moisture.

5. Rice field seepage prevention: For rice fields that require large amounts of water, such as rice, 1mm HDPE geomemofilm can be laid at the bottom of the rice field to reduce water leakage to the ground and keep enough water layer in the rice field.

Ⅷ、The future development trend of 1mm geomembrane 

In Nigeria, the future development trend of 1mm geomembrane is good. With the promotion of local agricultural modernization, the demand for precision irrigation has increased, and 1mm geomemofilm can help the efficient use of water resources with good impermeability, and its market demand will continue to rise. At the same time, the promotion of environmental awareness has promoted the research and development of recyclable and environmentally friendly geomembrane, which is in line with the development direction of sustainable agriculture in Nigeria. In addition, technological progress will bring better performance, such as aging resistance, corrosion resistance to further enhance, reduce replacement costs, so that it is more widely used in the field of agricultural irrigation, and promote Nigeria's agricultural production increase and income.
