Bentonite Geosynthetic Clay Liner The Ultimate Geosynthetic
Material for Seepage Prevention
Product Introduction
Geosynthetics Clay Liner(abbreviated as GCL) is a geosynthetic
material specifically designed for preventing seepage. It mainly
consists of high-swelling sodium-based bentonite filled between
specially designed composite geotechnical fabrics and non-woven
fabric, which are formed through needling. When exposed to water,
this material can form a uniform, high-density gelatinous
waterproof layer, effectively preventing water seepage.
Product Properties
1. High expansibility: sodium bentonite can absorb five times its
own weight in water, and the volume can expand to more than 15-17
times the original.
2. Low permeability: The formation of a high-density diaphragm
under water pressure, water permeability can reach 5×10^-11m/s,
with strong waterproof performance.
3. Durability: As a natural inorganic material, sodium bentonite
will not reduce performance due to aging or corrosion, and has
long-term durability.
4. Environmental protection: harmless to the human body, friendly
to the environment, is an environmentally friendly material.
5. Easy construction: no need to heat or paste, easy and fast
construction.
Product Application
Bentonite waterproof blankets are widely used in various
environmental engineering applications, such as:
Man-made lake water scenery
In addition, it is also used in water conservancy projects, highway
projects and other projects that require waterproofing.
