BENEFITS OF SOLMAX HDPE SERIES IN AQUACULTURE Out of the many types of hydraulic barriers available today, HDPE geomembranes are definitely the prime choice for shrimp farming. HDPE geomembranes are first and foremost both highly impervious and chemically inert and they offer economical, performing and environmentally safe solutions for the exact needs of the aquaculture industry. Reduces Disease Risk
- Reduces suitability of the environment for bacteria growth in the pond - Minimize spreading of disease from pond to pond - Reduces need for medication thus resulting in economical and quality drug-free produce
Water Conservation and Quality
- Prevents water loss - Reduces pumping costs - Easy to control water salinity and pH
Oxygen Containment
- Prevent oxygen from dissipating into soil - Lower electricity demand due to lesser oxygen production devices
Efficient Harvesting
- Efficient harvesting with both net method or pond draining method - Harvest duration is reduced and shrimp freshness is enhanced
Efficient Waste Removal
- Rapid removal of sediments at pond base - Pond cleaning drain system is easily integrated with Solmax HDPE liner 2

Environmentally safe solutions for the exact needs of the aquaculture industry.
Erosion Control
- Prevents slope deterioration and pond failure from erosion due to wind and wave action - Able to construct steeper slope and deeper ponds when lined with Solmax HDPE liner
Improve Turn Around Time
- Pond is easily washed and cleaned with minimal equipment and labour - Do not need to wait for pond bottom to be treated before restart of new culture cycle - Pond slope remains in good condition and earthwork repairs not required
Increase Site Selection Option
- Solmax HDPE liner can be installed in all stable ground coondition (sandy/clayey) - Farmers are able to set up aquaculture ponds anywhere without worry on soil property
Black Background of Solmax HDPE Liner
- Have been observed to improve the colour of shrimp to meet consumer preference - Absorbs heat from sunlight to maintain optimum water temperature and experience show it increases shrimp feeding rate
Lowers Maintenance Costs
- Frequent liner change is not required as Solmax HDPE liner’s tear, puncture and UV resistance meets and exceeds international GRI-GM13 standard 3
ADVANTAGES OF SOLMAX HDPE SERIES “Electricity is very expensive in my country. It is the no. 1 cost in my shrimp farm as I need to pump water frequently. After using Solmax liner, my electricity cost reduced significantly as the water level in my pond is easily maintained.” (Manila Phillipines, 2015) “Solmax liner is a proven technology in our intensive shrimp farm as it helps us in disease control, maintain water level and water quality. We are very happy with our consistent high yield harvest/ha over the previous 2 years of operation and we plan to further expand our farm next year” (Pahang Malaysia, 2015)

BIOSECURITY, PRODUCTIVITY and COST CONTROL is directly influenced by the proper selection of HDPE liner for shrimp aquaculture. A consistent, high quality, performing HDPE liner will prevent water contamination, protect liner against UV, frequent puncture - tear defects and ensure highest return on investment.
Solmax HDPE series for aquaculture solution is:
Manufactured from virgin premium grade resin 100% free of recycle, extenders and fillers Free of chemical/metal contamination
Online spark tested and certified 100% leak free
Tear and puncture resistance meet and exceed international GRI-GM13 standard 100% tested in GAI-LAP certified laboratory
Highly durable and UV resistant exceeding highest international GRI-GM13 standard Manufactured 8m wide/roll to facilitate fast installation and minimize field welding
“Previously, we have to change our thin plastic sheet after almost every harvest because it punctures and tears easily. Now that we are using Solmax liner, we can use it for many years without the need for frequent replacement.” (Jakarta Indonesia, 2015)
“From our experience, the black colour of Solmax liner helps keep the optimum water temperature for shrimp to grow as it increases their feeding apetite. We also observe that it helps us to produce shrimp with better colouring that meets consumer preference.” (Sumatera Indonesia, 2015)
