UNDERSTANDING YOUR NEEDSAt Solmax we understand that a flexible and weathering resistant geomembrane is in-line with our clients’ needs. But also, that factory-fabricated geomembranes hold tremendous advantages. They are cost-effective, time-efficient and improve the project’s overall quality.
High quality seams performed in a controlled
environment are instrumental in completing an
installation job successfully and in a timely fashion.
With that in mind, Solmax brings to the market the
F3 SERIES, geomembranes specifically formulated
for fabricated polyethylene panels.

FLEXIBILITY
Using a special blend of high quality resins, Solmax’s F3 Series is the best long-lasting and flexible material currently available in the industry. With multi-axial deformation greater than 90%, the specially formulated resin used in the F3 Series makes this series of geomembranes the most flexible non-reinforced PE geomembrane available on the market as of today.
The proprietary resin blend has high tensile
strength and exhibits high impact and puncture
resistance. It also has great environmental
stress-cracking resistance and multiaxial stress
resistance.
Solmax’s F3 Series is perfectly suited for projects
completed in cold climates, difficult site conditions
and subgrades. In fact, Solmax tested the F3 Series
under the Large Scale Hydrostatic Puncture Testing
to evaluate the real behavior of the material on the
field.

FABRICATION
Factory fabrication allows for large panel deployment. Such panels can be customized to each project, saving as much as 80%* of the installation time. High quality seams are performed and tested in a climate controlled facility ensuring that no destructive testing is done.
As shown in the table below, factory fabrication
enables the reduction of the material used by up
to 67%** since the quantities lost to bad seams,
destructive testing and cutting of the first layers
of the roll are eliminated.
Factory fabrication of geomembranes is key to
many projects. However, not all geomembranes
can be fabricated and folded due to their lack of
flexibility. Solmax’s F3 Series can be fabricated and
engineered into the specific requirements for a
project providing installers and engineers the best
performing product for any given site conditions.
Factory fabricated panels can also be customized
to the project’s exact quantities provided that
the initial take-off has been performed as per
specifications.
Solmax’s F3 Series is made with a special blend of
high quality resins that can be easily prefabricated
and packaged.

FOLDABLE
The more rigid a geomembrane is, the higher the chances of creasing it during the folding process. Folding can result in a weakness that could become the starting point of cracking and/or accelerated aging.
The F3 Series is flexible enough that it can be
factory seamed into large panels, folded, transported
and unfolded without undergoing any damage,
even in the harshest weather conditions, as shown
by the data below.
The quick deployment of folded, prefabricated
panels allows large areas of the prepared subgrade
to be covered quickly to prevent degradation due
to weather and installation operations.
Data obtained by these test methods have been
used to predict the behavior of plastic sheeting
at low temperatures.
Fabricators using the F3 Series of geomembranes
can fold and ship panels that range from 1,816 kg
(4,000 lbs) to 2,724 kg (6,000 lbs) covering an
area of 2,950m2 (30,770 ft2).

FREEZING POINT
In cold temperatures, the F3 Series behaves the same way as the best available LLDPE geomembrane.
As a world leader in geomembrane innovation, Solmax is proud to offer the F3 Series, a liner solution for your containment needs.
