Dura-Skrim^® NQT-Series (NQ45BX1)

In industries where durability, flexibility and resistance to environmental stress are critical, finding the right liner or cap can be difficult. Dura-Skrim NQT-Series from Viaflex is a product that addresses these needs with precision. Whether it’s a waste lagoon liner, landfill cap, or water containment pond, the Dura-Skrim NQT-Series stands out as a reliable choice for both exposed and buried applications.

Features

Single-Sided Textured Geomembrane with Reinforced Polyester Scrim: The Dura-Skrim NQT-Series features a single-sided textured geomembrane, offering high flexibility and industry-leading durability. Reinforced with a closely knit 9×9 weft-inserted polyester scrim, the Dura-Skrim NQT-Series product provides remarkable mechanical strength. This reinforcement not only improves dimensional stability but also ensures long-term reliability in various environmental conditions, making it the right product for both exposed and buried applications.

SurGrip™ Textured Surface: A standout feature of the Dura-Skrim NQT-Series is Viaflex’s exclusive SurGrip™ cast extrusion texture, which offers superior traction and grip. The cross-hatch pattern with self-draining treads enhances the product’s performance in applications requiring anti-skid surfaces, such as on slopes or in areas where slippage is a concern. The cross-hatch pattern texture ensures effective friction between soil types and geosynthetics, a key requirement for projects with steep slopes or slippery terrains. 

High Levels of Ethylene Propylene Rubber: The flexibility of Dura-Skrim NQT-Series is due to its high levels of ethylene propylene rubber, which is incorporated into the polypropylene. This gives the liner excellent flexibility without sacrificing strength, making it resistant to environmental stress cracking, even in extreme temperatures and harsh chemical environments. This flexibility also makes the product easier to handle and install, reducing time and labor costs. 

NSF/ANSI Standard 61 Certification: For projects involving potable water systems, the Dura-Skrim NQT-Series is certified under NSF/ANSI Standard 61, guaranteeing that it meets the government safety requirements for drinking water system components. This certification highlights Dura-Skrim NQT-Series perfect for a wide range of water containment applications, from canals to mining tailing ponds, without the risk of leaching harmful chemicals into the water supply. 

UV-Stabilized Polypropylene for Longevity: Dura-Skrim NQT-Series uses UV-stabilized polypropylene to ensure long-term durability. UV radiation can break down lesser-quality materials in outdoor and exposed environments, but the NQT-Series is engineered to withstand prolonged sun exposure, making it ideal for projects like landfill covers, waste lagoon liners and heap leach pads that may be exposed to sunlight for extended periods. 

Customizable Sizes and Factory Welded Panels: One of the most practical aspects of the Dura-Skrim NQT-Series is its availability in various widths and lengths, ensuring compatibility with project requirements. The product comes in large mill rolls, and factory-welded panels are tightly folded for easier handling and quicker installation. This allows for efficient seaming and reduces downtime on job sites.

Benefits

• Exceptional Mechanical Strength: The 9×9 polyester scrim reinforcement improves the liner’s dimensional stability and mechanical toughness, making it suitable for heavy-duty applications. 
• Certified for Potable Water Systems: NSF/ANSI Standard 61 Certification guarantees safety for drinking water applications, expanding its range of uses. 
• SurGrip™ Texture for Anti-Skid Surface: The unique textured surface provides excellent grip in high-friction environments, ensuring stability in slope applications. 
• High UV and Environmental Resistance: With UV-stabilized polypropylene and resistance to environmental stress cracking, the liner is built to last in harsh conditions, both exposed and buried. 
• Flexible and Easy to Install: Thanks to its flexibility and factory-folded panels, installation is quicker and more cost-effective compared to other products.
• Versatile Applications: Its versatility makes it perfect for a wide range of applications, from landfill caps to mining tailing ponds. 

The performance of the Dura-Skrim NQT-Series is where this product truly shines. Its ability to withstand extreme temperatures and harsh chemicals makes it ideal for environments where other materials may degrade over time. The liner’s durability is a direct result of its advanced engineering, focusing on UV stabilization, environmental stress resistance and the inclusion of ethylene propylene rubber to enhance flexibility.  
 
For steep slope applications or projects requiring high traction, the SurGrip™ texture adds another level of reliability. Whether it’s installed in waste lagoons, mining tailing ponds or canals, the NQT-Series delivers excellent long-term results, reducing the need for frequent replacements or repairs.
