Stevens Hypalon® Geomembrane

Chemical Resistance List

Stevens Hypalon® Geomembranes exhibit resistance to a wide rage of aggressive chemicals.  This performance property is of critical importance in various containment environments.  The following is a list of chemicals approved for use in contact with Stevens Hypalon® Geomembranes.  Restrictions are that the chemical temperature as it is applied to the geomembrane is not to exceed 122oF (50oC).  If the chemical temperature is higher, or if the chemical is not listed, contact Stevens Geomembranes.

 

It is important to note that the degree of attack on any material is influenced by a number of variable factors including dilution of the chemical, temperature, aeration, velocity of flow, duration of exposure, stability of the fluid, possible chemical reaction with other compounds being held in the same pond, size of the area under attack, geometry of the test sample, etc.  Therefore, this list is offered as a guide only.

 

Before specifying Stevens Hypalon® Geomembranes for a liner, floating cover, or any containment application, we strongly advise that you test the material under actual or simulated service conditions.
