Ethylene Interpolymer Alloy (EIA) Geomembranes are a long lasting geosynthetic solution that was developed in response to the Clean Water Act of 1972. This paper discusses the history of EIAs membranes, defines the broad class of materials that are considered EIAs, and delves into the polymer film, reinforcement, other layers, and their respective contributions to the Geomembrane’s final properties and performance. With properties and performance in mind, the paper discusses benefits these solutions offer over other geo solutions.
