BENTONITE FOR WATERPROOFING
Bentonite is an active component of a waterproofing material – a geosynthetic bentonite clay liner (GCL), which consists of needle-punched canvas made of polypropylene fibers and evenly distributed bentonite granules or bentonite powder in between.
Application:
- Oil industry
- Household and industrial waste landfills
- Mining and energy
- Reclamation of polluted areas
- Hydraulic engineering
- Industrial and civil engineering
- Transport construction
Properties and advantages of GCL:
Environmentally friendly
Cost-efficient: reduce financial costs and time
Self-healing in case of damage
Strong, resistant to tearing, shear and soil settlement
Long-lasting: service life up to 100 years
Quick and easy installation in any weather, no welding is required
Frost-resistant: installation and operation at temperatures from -60°С up to +70°С
Possess high waterproofing properties. Permeability is less than 0,7*10-11 m/sec
Bentonite liners are more technologically advanced, reliable and durable than such traditional solutions as a clay retainer, torch-welded and surface waterproofing, geomembrane, etc.
