NaBento® – Geosynthetic Clay Liner

Product catalog summary
Introduction
NaBento® is a geosynthetic clay liner (GCL) developed by HUESKER Synthetic GmbH, designed to provide optimum sealing performance by combining natural and technological elements. It is a composite product featuring high-grade bentonite encapsulated between geotextile layers, offering a reliable and cost-effective alternative to conventional mineral liners.
Specifications
The NaBento GCL is approximately 1 cm thick and primarily composed of montmorillonite, a highly swellable clay mineral. It achieves water permeability values as low as 5 x 10-11 m/s, making it suitable for various applications, including landfill covers and groundwater protection.
Benefits and Features
  • Easy installation, largely unaffected by weather conditions.
  • Thin sealing layers increase landfill capacity and reduce earthwork volume.
  • Guaranteed service life of over 100 years for certain types (RL-C and RL-N).
  • Lower susceptibility to settlement compared to conventional liners.
  • Uniformly high quality due to industrial production processes.
Performance Enhancements
NaBento RL-N and RL-C models feature a bitumen and expanded shale coating to enhance shear strength and reduce desiccation risk. This coating also allows installation in damp conditions. Overlaps can be sealed using bentonite powder, paste, or a special adhesive, with factory-applied options available for ease of installation.
Quality Assurance
NaBento's quality is ensured through stringent inspections and testing of materials and manufacturing processes. External surveillance by independent institutes further guarantees compliance with critical mechanical and hydraulic parameters.
Environmental Impact
NaBento contributes to significant carbon emission reductions (up to 89%) and energy savings (50-85%) compared to traditional materials, due to reduced material quantities, transportation, and emissions during production.
Applications
  • Environmental engineering: landfill covers, groundwater protection, stormwater basins.
  • Hydraulic engineering: dams, dikes, canal linings.
  • Infrastructure: roads, railways, airfields in water protection areas.

NaBento® – Geosynthetic Clay Liner-2

NaBento – Combining the Best of Nature and Technology The NaBento geosynthetic clay liner (GCL) is a composite product, a mere 1 cm thick, comprising high-grade bentonite sandwiched between various geotextile cover and supporting layers. The main constituent of the incorporated bentonite is montmorillonite, a highly swellable, three-layer clay mineral. The swelling action of the encapsulated bentonite due to water absorption is compounded by the loads acting on the NaBento GCL to create a waterproof clay barrier. The water permeability progressively falls as the loads increase: achievable values...

Production flexibility NaBento is manufactured on state-of-the-art production lines. Apart from our time-tested standard models, we also fabricate purpose-designed GCLs to our customers' specifications. The use of alternative raw materials, higher component weights per unit area or the integration of additional polymer/geotextile layers allows fine-tuning of the product properties to local conditions. Enhanced performance thanks to coating ¡ he surface of NaBento RL-N and NaBento RL-C is coated with ¡T bitumen and expanded shale to boost the product's long-term external shear strength (friction)...

Geosynthetic Clay Liner with a Reputation for Versatility Consistently guaranteed quality Quality begins with the technical design of NaBento and the selection of its constituent materials. Stringent incoming goods inspections – covering everything from the bentonite to the geotextile components – guarantee that all materials exhibit the required properties. Weight and thickness are constantly checked during manufacture. Moreover, the achievement of all critical mechanical and hydraulic parameters – above all, permittivity (ψ) – is ensured by means of systematic internal and external surveillance....
