Geosythetics Clay liner (GCL).

Bentotex is a Geosynthetic Clay Liner (GCL). It is an innovative composite product manufactured using the naturally occurring Bentonite clay resource. The powdered Bentonite clay is sandwiched between a woven and non-woven geotextile to give a very strong robust product.

The Bentonite clay gives the Bentotex it’s unique ‘self-healing’ properties. Once the product is hydrated and confined under the required minimum 300mm of cover material; if the product is punctured by an object Bentotex seals around it healing itself. This is one of the main reasons it is specified for a large proportion of public works contracts and landfill applications. Bentotex is not compromised by root penetration and is ideal for reed beds and wet systems.

The installation of the material is not dependant on prevailing weather conditions, and unlike manmade (HDPE/LDPE/Rubber) liners, it can be laid in cold inclement conditions. The material needs no specialist welding or power on site during installation, there by offering large savings on labour and plant costs.

A comprehensive installation guide and expert advice is available on request from Geosynthetics. For more information or to discuss your project requirements please contact our sales office 01455 617139.
