Geosynthetic Clay Liner (GCL) is an impermeable lining material created by needle-punching natural sodium bentonite material between woven and non-woven geotextiles. When the bentonite trapped between the woven geotextiles comes into contact with water, it forms an impermeable gel-like consistency, making it an excellent protective lining material.
In this process, natural sodium bentonite swells and expands up to x24 times its original size, forming an impermeable layer. After it comes into contact with water and absorbs it, it returns to its original state. This cycle is continuously repeated, and the material's water insulation properties are never compromised.
