Dura-Skrim® R-Series R8BB & R8WB (R8BBR8WB)

Types:

When it comes to high-performance liners and covers, Viaflex’s Dura-Skrim R-Series R8BB and R8WB stand out as premium solutions for demanding applications. Engineered for superior durability and versatility, these reinforced polyethylene liners are designed to handle extreme conditions while providing exceptional tear resistance. Whether used for landfill covers, erosion control or vapor retardation, Dura-Skrim R-Series delivers industry-leading performance.

Features

High-Strength Polyethylene Construction: The Dura-Skrim R8BB and R8WB liners consist of two sheets of high-strength polyethylene film laminated together with a third layer of molten polyethylene. This construction results in a tough, multi-layered barrier that enhances durability and longevity.

Reinforced Scrim Layer for Tear Resistance: One of the standout features of these liners is their scrim reinforcement, laid in a diagonal pattern with 3/8” spacing. This provides uniform tear resistance in both machine and transverse directions, ensuring resilience against punctures, rips and heavy loads.

UV and Thermal Stabilization: The R8WB model includes a white outer layer infused with UV inhibitors and thermal stabilizers, reducing heat buildup and condensation. This makes it ideal for applications where temperature regulation is crucial.

Carbon Black for Outdoor Longevity: The R8BB model features black outer layers infused with carbon black, which enhances resistance to UV degradation, making it particularly well-suited for outdoor applications where long-term exposure to sunlight is a concern.

Large Coverage. Easy Installation. Low Labor Costs: R8BB & R8WB liners are available in a variety of widths, with sizes reaching up to 180,000 square feet. The panels are accordion-folded and tightly rolled on a heavy-duty core for easier handling and faster installation. Reducing labor costs and installation time, making them an efficient choice for large-scale projects.

Benefits

  • Exceptional Tear Resistance: The reinforced scrim pattern ensures that these liners withstand harsh conditions and rough handling.
  • Superior UV Protection: The white and black outer layers offer tailored UV and heat resistance, extending product life in outdoor environments.
  • Versatile Applications: From construction to environmental containment, these liners are adaptable to multiple industries and uses.
  • Large Panel Availability: The ability to order in large square footage panels reduces seams, minimizing potential failure points and on job site seaming.
  • Ease of Installation: The quality-controlled folding and rolling process ensures Quick Deployment And Reduced Labor Costs.

Application Usage

Cargo Coverings: Protects freight and equipment from moisture, dust and debris during transport and storage.

Interim Landfill Covers: Serves as a temporary barrier to reduce odor, control erosion and prevent water infiltration between waste deposits.

Daily Landfill Covers: Provides a cost-effective alternative to soil for covering landfill waste daily, aiding in odor control and regulatory compliance.

Temporary Erosion Control: Acts as a protective layer to prevent soil erosion from wind and water in construction, excavation and remediation sites.

Divider Curtains: Creates temporary barriers within warehouses, construction zones, or industrial facilities to control dust, temperature and workflow.

Crawlspace Encapsulation: Blocks moisture and soil gases from entering building crawlspaces, improving air quality and reducing mold risk.

Remediation Covers or Liners: Contains and isolates hazardous materials, preventing contamination spread in environmental cleanup projects.

Pit/Pond Liners: Functions as a durable containment layer for water retention, wastewater treatment, and industrial pit applications.

Underslab Vapor Retarders: Reduces moisture transmission through concrete slabs, preventing mold growth and protecting flooring materials.

Temporary Earthen Liners: Provides short-term containment solutions for soil stabilization, excavation sites and industrial storage.

Temporary Rainshed Covers: Shields exposed materials, equipment and worksites from rain and weather damage during construction and remediation.

Dura-Skrim R-Series R8BB and R8WB are excellent choices for projects needing a rugged, high-performance liner or cover with superior tear resistance, UV protection and large-scale availability. R8BB and R8WB  reinforced construction makes them ideal for demanding applications in environmental containment, construction and agriculture. While they are best suited for temporary to mid-term use, their performance in these scenarios is unparalleled. If long-term durability is a priority, upgrading to the 8BV or 12BV models is advisable.

Viaflex’s Dura-Skrim R-Series liners are a smart investment for professionals needing reliable, high-strength containment solutions that balance durability with ease of use.
