Geosynthetic clay liner (GCL) is a thin and durable, self-healing modern hydraulic barrier used for containment. The factory controlled composites material is made of high swelling sodium bentonite, needle-punched in between two geotextiles. Low hydraulic conductivity of sodium bentonite effectively contains liquid from migrating outward. The needle punching process reinforce the GCL and increases its internal shear strength, ensuring the performance on steeper and longer slope. It is also dimensionally more stable, better resistance to shrinkage.
FabriFlex B, geosynthetic clay liners are used in various containment applications, a perfect alternative to compacted clay liner with equivalent and better performance. Installation is made simple by just rolling and overlapping the material. Contributed by various advantages, GCL has a lesser carbon footprint.
