A permanent development
Since its creation in the 1970s, COLETANCHE® has undergone numerous technical
improvements.

To better meet all the specific needs of its markets, the XP single-reinforcement range
has enriched the COLETANCHE® family.

In addition, as part of an eco-friendly approach, COLETANCHE® has reduced by 50%

the amount of waste generated by its installation by removing the interlayer film used
▶
during manufacturing.

Today, more than sixteen million square meters (one hundred seventy millions square
feet) of COLETANCHE® are implemented worldwide.
STRUCTURE OF THE COLETANCHE®

COLETANCHE ES COLETANCHE XP

For all types of terrain

The COLETANCHE® XP and ES ranges benefit from a high mechanical resistance.
Without the addition of protecting geotextile, they withstand the most aggressive
environments and support hot mix asphalt, concrete, riprap, gravel layer. With excellent
resistance to ageing, they can be used with or without protection, depending on the type
of COLETANCHE® products and adapt to all types of terrain thanks to their flexibility.
 BENEFITS OF COLETANCHE ®

COLETANCHE® is compatible with most materials and can therefore be laid on the majority of soil types
without any kind of protection allowing exposure to UV if required.

EASY TO INSTALL
 Significant width of 5,1 m or 16.7 ft
 Installation possible in extreme weather conditions (rainfall, wind, cold temperatures down
to -40 °C or -104 °F))
 High surface mass allowing installation in strong wind conditions

RESISTANCE
 Durability under real conditions exceeding 40 years
 Resistant to UV rays
 High resistance to puncture and tearing
 Capacity to be covered by a wide range of materials: asphalt, macadam or
poured concrete
 Friction angle up to 34°, greater than any other geomembrane
 Remarkable flexibility and dimensional stability thereby guaranteeing permanent contact with
the ground support
 Resistance against chemical products, biological agents and oxidation

EASY AND ECONOMICAL MAINTENANCE

 Easy to weld or bond with concrete and other penetrations in the open and under water

COLETANCHE® : Guarantee of quality

Products that meet and exceed international standards
A strict quality assurance plan implemented during manufacturing as well as on-site installation
of the geomembrane allows to guarantee maximum quality. The welded seams can be checked
using standardized methods and especially ultrasound testing.
