5. Physical properties
In terms of physical properties, the main points of comparison between geomembranes are as follows.
5.1 Waterproofing
5.1.1 Liquid leaks through holes
All geomembranes are impervious to water and liquids that do not chemically attack them. Liquid leaks are mainly due to holes in the geomembranes or at their periphery. These holes result from a variety of causes:
holes in the geomembrane due to production faults (now extremely rare);
