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.
