COOLGUARD

Cooley Engineered Membranes offers a wide variety of geomembranes to fit your liner needs. Because each containment application is unique, this list is offered only as a guide in choosing the correct Cooley Geomembrane to fit your containment needs.

The following list of chemicals has been tested at ambient temperatures under static conditions. The effect of these chemicals on the geomembrane are subject to change based on variables such as, but not limited to: exposure to additional chemicals, temperature, dilution of the chemical, stronger concentrations, time of exposure, etc.

It is always recommended that you contact Cooley Engineered Membranes prior to choosing your geomembrane and/or that you test a sample of the geomembrane under actual or simulated jobsite conditions.

The data shown are the result of laboratory tests and are intended only as a guide. No performance warranty is intended or implied. Ratings were determined by visual experimentation of coated fabric samples after contact with test fluid for 28 days at room temperature.

When considering Cooley Engineered Membranes for a specific application, it is important to study other requirements such as permeability, service temperature, concentration, size to be contained, etc. A sample of material should be tested in actual service before specification. When impractical, tests should be devised which simulate actual service conditions as closely as possible. The Cooley Engineered Membranes Technical Department should be consulted for further recommendation. This table is presented and accepted at user’s risk.
