Description

Bentonite Geosynthetic Clay Liner​
Bentonite waterproof liner (GCL) is a new geosynthetic material. Taking natural sodium bentonite as material, bentonite particles are fixed between two layers of geotextile by special process to make bentonite waterproof blanket, which not only has all the characteristics of geotechnical materials, but also has excellent waterproof (seepage) performance.

Bentonite Geosynthetic Clay Liner​’s Key Features & Benefits

Superior Hydraulic Performance: The core sodium bentonite clay has a natural ability to absorb water and swell, forming a dense, low-permeability gel barrier. This effectively blocks the passage of liquids and contaminants, with a typical hydraulic conductivity of less than 5 x 10⁻¹¹ m/s.
Self-Sealing Capability: Our bentonite geosynthetic clay liner possess a unique self-healing property. If punctured or damaged, the surrounding bentonite clay migrates into the void, swelling to seal the breach and restore the barrier’s integrity.
Exceptional Durability & Strength: The reinforced geotextile components provide high tensile strength, puncture resistance, and internal shear resistance, ensuring long-term performance even under stress and differential settlement.

Rapid Installation: Prefabricated in large, easy-to-handle rolls, bentonite geosynthetic clay liner deploy significantly faster than compacted clay liners. This leads to reduced labor costs, shorter project timelines, and less weather dependency.
Cost-Effectiveness: Reduced material requirements, faster installation, and less reliance on heavy machinery translate into substantial cost savings on your project without compromising on performance.
Environmental Sustainability: By providing a highly effective containment barrier, our bentonite geosynthetic clay liner play a crucial role in protecting soil and groundwater from contamination. Their efficient use of materials also reduces the environmental footprint of your project.

Applications

Bentonite Geosynthetic Clay Liner​’s Applications

Landfills: Base and cover liner systems for municipal, industrial, and hazardous waste landfills.
Mining & Containment: Tailings impoundments, heap leach pads, and secondary containment for process water.
Water & Fluid Containment: Decorative ponds, irrigation canals, reservoirs, and firewater retention ponds.
Infrastructure: Vertical barriers for tunnel and underground applications, and as a capillary break beneath roadways and rail lines.
Secondary Containment: Lining for tank farms and industrial areas to prevent soil contamination from spills.

Bentonite geosynthetic clay liner​ is a manufactured hydraulic barrier consisting of a uniform layer of high-swelling sodium bentonite clay encapsulated between two geotextiles. The layers are securely held together by needling, stitching, or adhesive bonding. This composite structure creates a flexible, durable, and self-sealing liner that is highly effective in minimizing fluid migration.
Consistent Quality: Rigorous factory quality control ensures a uniform, high-quality product in every roll.
Proven Performance: Trusted by engineers and contractors worldwide for critical containment projects.
