Research overview

Tests a 1.0 mm HDPE geomembrane under xenon-arc and fluorescent UV exposure using tensile, OIT and thermal methods. Exposure changes do not translate directly into an installed liner lifetime or validate other resin and stabiliser formulations.

Kontain’s reading note. Refer to the original paper for the authors’ full methods, findings and limitations.
