Geosynthetic Clay Liner (GCL)
Geosynthetic Clay Liner (GCL) with PE Geomembrane is a high-performance, needle-punched composite material designed for environmental reinforcement. It combines two durable geotextile outer layers with a uniform core of natural sodium bentonite clay, creating an effective hydraulic barrier. The fibers from the non-woven geotextile are needle-punched through the bentonite layer and integrated into the adjacent geotextile (either woven or non-woven). When hydrated and subjected to a confining load, the bentonite swells, forming a low-permeability clay barrier that provides hydraulic protection equivalent to several feet of compacted clay.
