Now Offers HydraLine™ in 23’ Wide Seamless,
Smooth-Edge, Textured Mill Rolls
Raven Industries, Inc. (the Company; NASDAQ:RAVN) announced
today that its Engineered Films division has incorporated new
smooth-edge technology onto its 7-layer barrier extrusion line for
the production of 23’ wide textured sheet geomembranes.
The new smooth-edge extrusion process creates a high-quality
smooth surface edge on the top side, bottom side, or on both sides
of double-side textured products. This new technology increases the
thermal fusion welding surface and weld integrity of the Company’s
23’ wide single- and double-side textured HydraLine™ products in
thicknesses of 30-80 mil (0.75 mm-2.0 mm), including:
- HDT-Series high-density polyethylene (HDPE) geomembranes.
- LLT-Series linear-low-density polyethylene (LLDPE)
geomembranes.
The Raven HydraLine™ HDT- and LLT-Series are designed with a
textured surface for more challenging applications that require
increased friction angles to provide higher stability on steep
slopes, stabilization for earthen and secondary geosynthetics, and
increased work-site safety.
“We are excited about this new addition to our textured
HydraLine™ seamless products; this enhancement will provide our
customers with major upside in quality welds and reduced labor
while installing our products in the field,” said Tim Hart,
Directory of Sales for Raven Engineered Films. “This product line
was designed with our customers top of mind, offering a competitive
price point advantage to significantly drive their sales and market
share in the geosynthetics space.”
This complex line enhancement was accomplished in just over 12
months — including design, build, and installation time to complete
— and its massive 66-inch extrusion die body weighs in at over
10,000 lbs. With an annual output capacity of 16 million pounds,
this multi-layer line is capable of producing smooth 23’ seamless
geomembranes along with complex multi-layer barrier structures for
the effective containment of hazardous volatile organic compounds
(VOCs) in liquid, solid, odor and gas form.
Raven HydraLine™ textured geomembranes are manufactured in a
quality environment under a stringent ISO 9001 certified management
system and tested in an accredited GAI-LAP laboratory to meet and
exceed the GRI-GM13 and GM17 industry performance standards,
respectively. Raven textured HydraLine™ is formulated for high tear
and puncture resistance and includes a 20-year manufacturer
warranty for long-term protection from thermal oxidation and
ultraviolet degradation.
