AT THE CORE:The barrier component of the composite, EPDM geomembrane has been used in a variety of environmental applications.

45 Mil (1.14mm) EPDM Geomembrane The LiteEarth ethylene polymer diene monomer (EPDM) geomembrane – the barrier

component of the product – has been used successfully worldwide as an environmental

barrier liner and weather protection barrier for more than 40 years. It is flexible,

impermeable, and highly resistant to weathering. EPDM geomembrane has been used

successfully in many different contaiment applications.

PRODUCT DATA SHEET

AT THE CORE:A highly engineered monolithic composite consisting of a geomembrane liner with factory bonded synthetic grass.

Synthetic Turf Earth Capping System LiteEarth Synthetic Turf-EPDM Composite LiteEarth is a highly engineered monolithic composite consisting of a geomembrane

liner with factory bonded synthetic grass. The product is a cost-effective, durable,

aesthetically pleasing and environmentally-friendly alternative to traditional long-term/

final soil caps used for closure of municipal solid waste, construction & demolition,

hazardous waste, coal ash, and industrial landfills. The ethylene polymer diene monomer

(EPDM) geomembrane – the barrier component of the product – has been used

successfully worldwide as an environmental barrier liner and weather protection barrier

for more than 40 years. The synthetic grass component is highly engineered, born from

years of application on professional and recreational sports facilities. The EPDM and

synthetic grass are factory bonded, resulting in a finished product that meets or exceeds

the permeability requirements for landfill covers as stated in federal and state regulations.

Manufactured under ISO 9001 standards, the finished product and its components have

been extensively tested. LiteEarth is non-toxic and passes all hazardous heavy metal

requirements.

AT THE CORE:A natural-looking synthetic that features high multi-axial strength and puncture resistance.

Synthetic Turf and Primary Backing LiteEarth uses synthetic grass and a woven primary backing with added UV for stability.

The system features high multi-axial tensile strength as well as strong tear and puncture

resistance properties. The durable, spined monofilament stands up without infill, which

means there is no wind or water erosion. The synthetic blades are secured into the

primary backing for a green, sustainable, natural-looking grass.
