Geomembranes are designed to be puncture resistant, although some variations are more resistant thanks to their material composition and thickness. Materials like HDPE, LDPE, RPE, and RPP are commonly used for their strong mechanical properties, including resistance to punctures.
The incorporation of reinforcement layers in some geomembranes further enhances this attribute, making them suitable for applications where sharp objects or rough substrates are a concern. While no geomembrane is completely impervious to punctures, selecting the appropriate material and thickness for the specific application significantly minimizes the risk.
