Landfill cover composition and processes for application to landfills

摘要

A covering for landfill comprising a sheet of plasticized polyvinyl chloride-based film coated with a permanently tacky adhesive that holds the sheet to the compacted garbage of the landfill. The adhesive is preferably an aqueous emulsion of polybutene, applied to the sheet which is then folded to keep it from drying before use and to facilitate transportation to the landfill. The folded sheet is then unfolded and applied to the surface of the compacted garbage, adhesive-side down.
