SOLMAX CONDUCTIVE LINER SERIES At Solmax, we are aware that despite the advanced design, the quality control of our liners or the thorough manufacturing, accidental damages can occur before, during or after the installation process. Such damages can lead to ruptures in the geomembrane, hence weaken its performance and allow leakage. Several leak detection techniques are available; however most of them are very costly and require extensive training.
The CONDUCTIVE PRIME FINISH is an electrically conductive geomembrane skin that can be applied to several Solmax PE product series. Once installed* the geomembrane can be rigorously spark-tested for ruptures and leaks. Incorporating electrically reactive carbon black and the highest quality HDPE & LLDPE resins, SOLMAX CONDUCTIVE PRIME FINISH, is available on several Solmax PE product series which can meet the most stringent speci�ications in the industry. This allows the installed liner to be spark-tested on the entire installed surface. The CONDUCTIVE PRIME FINISH is available in Solmax's HDPE and LLDPE Series and can be combined with any other of Solmax's �inishes or Prime �inishes, such as White Re�lective.
CONTROL METHOD As per ASTM D7240, the spark testing process can be used with the SOLMAX CONDUCTIVE PRIME FINISH LINER to test for damages or leaks. Using a conductive pad linked to a portable holiday detector, electrical induction to the Solmax CONDUCTIVE PRIME FINISH LINER is performed to charge the undersurface of the liner. An operator can then sweep the exposed layer of the liner for leaks using a brass brush or conductive wand. As soon as a leak is detected, an alarm will be heard and a visible spark will be seen, therefore instantly guiding the operator to where a repair or patch must be done. * Solmax recommends to use electrical insulating gloves when handling the leak location wand to prevent accidental electrical shocks.

BENEFITS Spark testing an area lined with SOLMAX CONDUCTIVE PRIME FINISH is not only safe but very efficient. Operators will save time and money by quickly detecting and repairing any accidental damage made to the totality of the installed surface.
• Does not require intimate contact with the sub-surface • Does not require a conductive subsurface • Does not require the use of water • Effective on subgrade holes or liner wrinkles • Effective on slopes • Rapid and effective • Can locate holes a small as pinholes
Solmax provides a complementary installation and testing training with a minimum purchase of 15 rolls of any Solmax series where the CONDUCTIVE PRIME FINISH can be applied. Enquire with your local sales representative for more information.
