In many of our engineering projects, HDPE Geomembranes are widely used. For example: aquaculture projects, mining projects, salt industry projects, landfills, sewage treatment projects, etc. When customers need to purchase HDPE Geomembranes, price is a crucial factor in closing orders. Next, this article mainly talks about what factors affect HDPE Geomembrane cost? This article will analyze HDPE Geomembranes from raw materials, thickness, roll size, order quantity, service life, and geographical location of suppliers.
BPM Geosynthetics, as a HDPE Geomembrane manufacturer with 17 years of export experience, have excellent production capabilities and after-sales capabilities. We can produce various HDPE Geomembranes with no requirements for customers.
1. HDPE Geomembrane Cost – Raw Materials
As we all know, the raw material of HDPE Geomembrane is mainly composed of polyethylene virgin resin, with carbon black, anti-aging agent, anti-UV absorber stabilizer and other auxiliary materials added. Then the grade and price of these raw materials also affect HDPE Geomembrane cost.
1.1 Low Cost Of Secondary Recycled Materials
We all know the fact that the initial material cost mainly depends on the material quality. Some factories use secondary waste materials to make HDPE Geomembranes. Although the material cost is very low, the maintenance cost and life cost will be very high. In the future, we will continue to repair and manage it.The initial cost of recycled materials is very low, but the quality of products produced with recycled materials is very poor. These finished products cannot guarantee that they truly have the high anti-seepage function of geomembranes. They are easily damaged, and the cost and negative impact of later repairs are very high.
1.2 100% Virgin Material
Virgin PE HDPE Geomembrane resin has high performance. For large-scale civil engineering, water treatment, landfill, and mining projects, HDPE Geomembrane should have high technical data. Although the initial material cost of HDPE Geomembrane will become higher, the materials guarantee the service life of these projects. For example, our virgin HDPE HDPE Geomembranes have a lifespan of 10-20 years for fish ponds, irrigation basins, and 40-60 years for landfill mining projects.
1.3 BPM Material
If you don’t know how to confirm the material quality and HDPE Geomembrane quality, our engineers can help confirm and select the appropriate HDPE Geomembrane. If the customer has high requirements for the product quality of the engineering project, it needs to meet the GM13 standard. Therefore, the supplier is required to use 100% polyethylene raw materials. We, BPM Geosynthetics, use raw materials imported from Saudi Arabia instead of raw materials produced in China. If customers need HDPE Geomembranes produced according to Chinese standards, the price of GB standard HDPE Geomembranes is lower than that of GM13 standard. Judging from BPM Geosynthetics’ export experience, most customers will choose GM13 standard products because HDPE Geomembranes made of HDPE polyethylene imported from Saudi Arabia have a long service life. In the long run, GM standard is more cost-effective than GB standard.
2. HDPE Geomembrane Cost – Different Thicknesses
Different thicknesses have different HDPE Geomembrane Cost.The thinner the HDPE Geomembrane, the cheaper it is.
(1)Aquaculture projects often use 0.5mm or 0.75mm HDPE Geomembranes. When customers have limited purchasing budget, we recommend customers to consider 0.5mm HDPE Geomembrane. Because 0.5mm HDPE Geomembrane is cheaper than 0.75mm HDPE Geomembrane.
(2)Sewage treatment tank projects generally require the use of a HDPE Geomembrane thickness of 1.5mm.
(3)Mining Landfill projects may require the use of 1.5mm or 2mm thickness.
3. HDPE Geomembrane Cost – Different Roll Size
As a HDPE Geomembrane export manufacturer for 17 years, our factory has 3 lines of smooth HDPE Geomembrane equipment and one line of rough surface HDPE Geomembrane equipment. We can produce HDPE Geomembranes with widths from 2 meters to 10 meters. We can produce HDPE Geomembrane thicknesses from 0.2mm to 3mm. Because our HDPE Geomembranes need to be shipped in containers and shipped to customers, most customers ask us to produce widths of 5.8mm or 7 meters or 8 meters. If you have other widths, we can also produce them. If you need a width of 3 meters, it may produce some waste of raw materials. The price of a 3-meter wide HDPE Geomembrane may be higher than the price of a normal width (5.8m to 10m) HDPE Geomembrane.
4. HDPE Geomembrane Cost – Quantity Purchased
The cost of HDPE Geomembrane is also related to the purchase quantity. The higher the quantity, the more cost-effective the HDPE Geomembrane will be. The purchase cost of HDPE Geomembrane consists of the price of HDPE Geomembrane itself and the price of sea freight. For customers with large purchase quantities, we will also apply to the boss for the best price for you.
5. HDPE Geomembrane Cost – Service Life
In the international HDPE Geomembrane market, the quality ranking of HDPE Geomembranes can range from A to Z. Some are of good quality and some are of poor quality. HDPE Geomembranes produced from 100% virgin resin polyethylene can last 40 to 50 years. The service life of HDPE Geomembranes produced from recycled materials is 2 to 3 years. We should also consider the average lifespan before purchasing HDPE Geomembrane. A HDPE Geomembrane with a 30+ year track record of successful performance may cost more initially, but the return on investment will be higher than a HDPE Geomembrane with a lower initial cost that only lasts 2 to 3 years. Which one will you choose?
6. HDPE Geomembrane Cost – Geographical Location
In addition to the raw materials, thickness, roll size, order quantity, and service life factors that affect the price of HDPE Geomembranes, the geographical location of the supplier also affects the price. Because the closer the customer’s destination is to China, the cheaper the sea freight is. For example, the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and other countries. Customers from these countries will choose to purchase HDPE Geomembranes from China. Because sea freight is cheap, the voyage time is short.
7. Conclusion
As mentioned above, there are many factors that affect the cost of HDPE Geomembrane. If you want your HDPE Geomembrane to be cost-effective, please contact BPM Geosynthetics and we will recommend different HDPE Geomembranes based on your needs. Be sure to do your research and weigh your options to find one that suits both your performance and your budgetary requirements.
