Salt Barrier

Salt Barrier

Salt Barriers are high-performance geocomposite membranes designed to prevent the upward migration of salts and contaminants into soil, pavements, and landscaped areas. These barriers create an impermeable layer that blocks saline groundwater and capillary rise, protecting vegetation, concrete, and infrastructure from salt-induced damage.

At Prime Terratech, a leading salt barrier manufacturer and supplier in India, we provide advanced salt barrier geocomposite systems engineered for long-term durability and superior performance. Our salt barriers are ideal for roadways, landscaping projects, sports fields, and coastal developments where saline water or soil poses a threat to structural integrity and plant growth.

Manufactured using multi-layer polymer films combined with non-woven geotextiles, Prime Terratech’s salt barriers ensure maximum protection against salt ingress, while maintaining permeability for gases and moisture control. They are lightweight, easy to install, and compatible with all standard geosynthetic systems used in modern civil engineering projects.

Product Details

Prime Terratech Salt Barriers are composite membranes made by laminating high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or low-density polyethylene (LDPE) film with non-woven geotextiles. This structure provides exceptional impermeability to dissolved salts, chlorides, and sulfates while offering high puncture resistance and tensile strength.

Our salt barrier geocomposites are designed to create a protective layer beneath pavements, turf, and landscaped soil beds, preventing saline intrusion and chemical corrosion. They also act as an effective separation and protection layer in infrastructure projects such as highways, runways, and retaining structures.

Whether for greenfield development, landscaping, or rehabilitation of saline-prone areas, Prime Terratech Salt Barriers deliver long-term, low-maintenance performance. The material is UV-stabilized, chemically inert, and compatible with other waterproofing and geosynthetic systems.
