Most geomembranes are made in a plant using one of the following manufacturing processes :(i) extrusion,(ii) spread coating, or(iii) calendering. Extrusion process is a method whereby a molten polymer, usually of the polyolefin family... is extruded into a non-reinforced sheet. Immediately after extrusion, when the sheet is still warm, it can be laminated with a fabric, through light calendering; the geomembrane thus produced is reinforced.
