HDPE geomembrane price by thickness (0.5–2.0 mm)
HDPE geomembrane price scales almost linearly with thickness — 0.5 mm to 2.0 mm. What else moves the HDPE liner price (virgin vs recycled resin, width, textured), and how to compare quotes in India per m².
Thickness is most of the price
HDPE geomembrane sells per square metre and thickness is the single biggest lever on the HDPE liner price. Step from 0.5 mm to 1.0 mm to 1.5 mm to 2.0 mm and you roughly double the polyethylene each time, so the per-m² price tracks it almost linearly. Most over- and under-paying traces to one mistake: quoting the wrong thickness — a 500 micron sheet where the job needs 1.0 mm, or a 1.5 mm sheet on a clean pond that a 0.75 mm would have lined fine.
The price ladder
0.5 mm (500 micron) — entry liner for small ponds on a prepared bed; this is the band behind most 'pond liner 500 micron price' searches. 0.75–1.0 mm — reservoirs and aquaculture ponds. 1.5 mm — landfill caps, leachate, industrial containment. 2.0 mm — mining and hazardous-waste cells. Each rung adds material cost in step; match the thickness to the job rather than over-specifying — our thickness selection guide walks the choice.
What else moves the quote
Past thickness, the big one is resin. A virgin-polyethylene sheet with carbon black, antioxidants and UV stabilisers to GRI-GM13 is a different product from a recycled-blend sheet — and a recycled sheet is exactly how a 'too good' HDPE geomembrane price in India undercuts everyone else on paper while failing in the sun. After resin: smooth vs textured surface, roll width, total quantity, and whether weld rod and accessories are in the price.
Comparing liner prices fairly
Make every supplier state thickness in mm and micron, the standard (GRI-GM13), virgin vs recycled resin, surface (smooth/textured), roll dimensions, and price basis (per m² or per roll). Only with all six on the table are two HDPE liner price lists comparable.

Frequently asked questions
Is a thicker HDPE liner always worth the extra cost?
Only up to what the application needs. Past the required thickness for the subgrade, chemistry and design life, extra thickness adds cost with no real performance gain.
Why is one HDPE geomembrane price so much lower?
Usually a thinner gauge than quoted, or recycled resin instead of virgin GRI-GM13. Always confirm thickness in micron and virgin vs recycled before comparing.
