Geosynthetic Clay Liners (GCLs) for structural waterproofing The Inventor of needle-punched Geosynthetic Clay Liners. Material science - Engineering - Innovation ®

BENTOFIX® Bentofix® Thermal Lock geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs) - also known as geosynthetic clay barriers (GBR-C) - are needle-punched, reinforced composites that combine two outer layers of durable geotextile and an uniform core of high-swelling powder sodium bentonite clay. This forms a uniform, multi-directional, shear-resistant hydraulic barrier with self-sealing and re-healing characteristics. Bentofix® geosynthetic clay liners (GCL) exemplify how geosynthetics perform best: by interacting with natural elements to create something stronger and more secure. Needle-punching...

ADVANTAGE 1 Bentofix® consists of an evenly distributed layer of high-swelling sodium bentonite powder encapsulated between two geotextile components that act as the sealing element. The main advantage of the powder bentonite is its uniform distribution and its immediate sealing performance. When hydrated and permeated under confinement with fresh water the bento-of the nonwoven geotextile swells into small cracks or imperfections and moulds to the profile of the reinforced concrete element, sealing against ingress of water. Also, the sodium bentonite impregnated nonwo-ven ensures that all...
