Bentonite waterproof blanket (GCL)
Geosynthetic clay liner

It is usually composed of two layers of geotextile sandwiching a layer of bentonite. Has the following significant characteristics:

Low permeability: It can effectively prevent the penetration of liquids and gases, providing excellent isolation effect.

Self healing ability: When GCL is locally damaged, bentonite will expand in contact with water, fill and repair gaps on its own, and maintain its anti-seepage performance.

Convenient construction: Compared to traditional clay liners, GCL is lightweight, easy to transport and lay.

GCL has been widely applied in the following fields:

Landfill site: As an impermeable layer at the bottom and slope, it prevents leachate from polluting groundwater and the surrounding environment.

Water conservancy engineering: such as anti-seepage treatment of reservoirs and channels.

For example, in the construction of a large landfill site, using GCL as a liner can greatly reduce the risk of leachate leakage, protect the surrounding soil and water sources; When constructing small reservoirs, laying GCL can effectively reduce water leakage and improve the utilization of water resources.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What material is bentonite waterproof blanket made of?

Bentonite waterproof blanket is mainly composed of natural sodium-based bentonite particles, geotextiles and geomembranes.

What is its waterproof principle?

Bentonite swells when it meets water to form a uniform colloidal waterproof layer, which can effectively prevent water penetration.

What projects is it suitable for?

It is suitable for various waterproof projects such as landfills, artificial lakes, basements, tunnels, and water conservancy projects.

How long is the service life of bentonite waterproof blanket?

Under normal use and maintenance, it can generally reach several decades. However, the specific life span will be affected by environmental conditions, construction quality and other factors.
