Abstract
Separation-in-plane (SIP) is a phenomenon that occurs during peel testing of geomembrane seams, sometimes in flexible polypropylene and less frequently in high density polyethylene. Its cause has never been experimentally verified, yet it is considered to be an acceptable form of material delamination. It is hypothesized that it is fundamentally a consequence of using incompatible carrier resins for additives and is aggravated by some geomembrane processing characteristics. Research to date is summarized and additional work is proposed. It is concluded that it is preferable to avoid it rather than to accept it.
