Dura-Skrim® J-Series (J30BDJ30DT1J36B)
In industries where environmental containment is critical, the importance of reliable liners and covers cannot be overstated. Whether it’s waste lagoon liners, floating covers or erosion control, every application demands materials that can endure harsh conditions while maintaining performance and safety standards. Dura-Skrim J-Series by Viaflex has quickly gained attention for its advanced engineering, versatility and exceptional durability.
Features
Textured, Reinforced Geomembrane: At the heart of the Dura-Skrim J-Series is its unique single-sided, textured geomembrane, designed using high-strength polyethylene resins. This construction provides both durability and flexibility, guaranteeing that the material performs well under various environmental stresses. The aggressive, crosshatched texture offers a distinctive advantage, significantly improving traction on the job site, which decreases slips and accidents—valuable in wet or uneven conditions.
Exceptional Tear and Puncture Resistance: The J-Series is reinforced with a polyester scrim encapsulated within a linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) matrix. This tri-directional reinforcement increases its tear and puncture resistance, making it ideal for environments where sharp objects, rough terrain or mechanical stress could endanger the integrity of less robust liners. Whether it’s heavy machinery or abrasive materials, Dura-Skrim J-Series liners maintain their structural integrity.
Thermal Expansion Management: Thermal expansion is a common issue in liners exposed to varying temperatures, leading to wrinkling and potentially compromised functionality. The J-Series counters this problem with its textured gray outer layer that not only provides a cooler working surface but also minimizes thermal expansion. This feature ensures that the liner maintains its form even in extreme conditions, reducing the risk of warping and improving its overall longevity.
Black Layer with Carbon Black and Thermal Stabilizers: The Dura-Skrim J-Series’ black layer incorporates carbon black and thermal stabilizers to ensure longevity in exposed environments. These additives improve the geomembrane’s resistance to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, oxidation and other environmental degradation factors, making it a long-lasting choice for outdoor applications.
Variety of Sizes and Easy Installation: Dura-Skrim J-Series is available in a range of lengths and widths, providing flexibility in both large-scale and smaller projects. Large-diameter mill rolls enable an efficient seaming process, and the factory-welded panels are quality-controlled, accordion-folded, and tightly rolled onto heavy-duty cores for ease of handling. This practical packaging reduces installation time, making it highly user-friendly for field workers and contractors.
Benefits
- Superior Durability: The encapsulated polyester scrim reinforcement combined with the chemical-resistant LLDPE gives the Dura-Skrim J-Series remarkable strength and tear and puncture resistance. This makes it suitable for high-stress environments such as landfill covers and water containment ponds.
- Thermal Stability: The gray outer layer not only keeps the liner cooler under the sun, but also limits thermal expansion, ensuring the liner remains stable and functional over time.
- Safety-First Design: With a cross-hatched, textured surface, the liner provides a non-skid surface for improved job site safety, reducing the risk of accidents.
- Environmental Resistance: Integrating carbon black and thermal stabilizers into the black layer protects the liner from UV degradation, ensuring long-term durability even when exposed to the elements.
- Sizing Options: The product comes in a variety of sizes, from mill rolls to large pre-fabricated panels, allowing customers to choose the right fit for their specific project. This versatility reduces installation complexity and project costs.
Viaflex Dura-Skrim J-Series stands out as a premium solution for applications requiring high tear resistance, dimensional stability and durability under challenging environmental conditions. The combination of advanced reinforcement with the textured, non-skid surface ensures that it performs well in high-stress scenarios, while its resistance to thermal expansion and UV exposure guarantees longevity even in outdoor installations.
