Methane occurs on the earth surface, usually in undermined areas, in particular, in locations where mines have been abandoned. Underground line structures can be protected against leakage of methane by coating insulation made from a suitable polymer film. This contribution proposes insulation against infiltration of methane into underground line structures (e. g. into shafts, reservoirs, silos, water reservoirs etc.)
