Abstract: The work aims to determine the necessary characteristics of the polymer membrane and PVC HDPE, which include good thermal, physical properties low cost, high weatherability and simulated for automotive application. The results obtained from two PVC and HDPE membranes in two different thicknesses are compared, considering controllable variables such as tension, elongation at break, working temperature and others. These tests are subject to ASTM standards which are collated to determine the membrane with better properties. The simulation was performed in software appropriate for calculating the polymer membrane to determine the stress, displacement and the safety factor of the membrane. HDPE membranes are superior to ABS and other membranes. At the same time help standards and design manual geosynthetics helped validate and determine that the geomembrane can be used in the automotive industry.
