CLEANSEAM®

CLEANSEAM® is a first-in-class product configuration for AGRU geomembrane liner that integrates a protective release film on the weld edges of the geomembrane. CleanSeam eliminates or greatly reduces the potential for fine soils, waste materials, and stockpile dust from coming into contact with seaming areas during or prior to geosynthetic installation. The negative impacts of dust and debris on geomembrane seams are well understood. When fine particles buildup in the geomembrane seaming areas during on-site storage during deployment, it is necessary to clean the area of contaminants prior to welding. It is especially difficult to reduce contamination in applications that include higher concentrations of fine particles, such as coal ash residuals for fine subgrade soils. CleanSeam, an integrated geosynthetic release film, mitigates the risk of particle buildup by protecting the geomembrane weld edges from exposure to field conditions. The CleanSeam protective strip is removed directly before seaming occurs and leaves no residue behind, just clean geomembrane. CleanSeam is applied to the geomembrane during manufacturing, providing the cleanest possible seaming area from the creation of the liner. CleanSeam can be configured on all AGRU geomembrane liners, including AGRU Smooth & MicroSpike®, Super Gripnet®, MicroDrain®, and AGRU Drain Liner®.
