Characteristics of Clay Geosynthetic Barriers for landfills

The Geosynthetic Clay Liners used in landfill capping systems must provide sufficient low permeability over time even under critical conditions. The synthetic components need to be durable and resistant to oxidation and must also be strong enough to withstand the shear forces acting on the slope of the landfill cover. Sufficient oxidation tests, such as autoclave tests and long-term shear creep tests, must be performed to yield a service life of up to 100 years for GBR-Cs. So what features does it have that make it competent? Here is specific information about the Clay Geosynthetic Barriers manufactured by our company.

The following is a list of contents:

• Water absorption of Clay Geosynthetic Barriers

Water absorption of Clay Geosynthetic Barriers

Geosynthetic clay liner is an impermeable geosynthetic material. Geosynthetic clay liner is known as GCL. Highly expanded sodium-based bentonite is filled between a special composite geotextile and a nonwoven fabric. The bentonite impermeable mat made by the needling method can form many small fiber spaces so that the bentonite particles cannot flow in one direction. When water enters, a uniform high-density colloidal waterproof layer is formed inside the mat, which can prevent water leakage. Our company's products have excellent waterproofing (water penetration) properties, and when in contact with water, the volume can expand to as much as 20-28 times the original volume.

Ease of handling of Clay Geosynthetic Barriers

The construction of Geosynthetic Clay Liners is easy and the construction period is short: compared with other waterproof materials, there is no need to heat and paste. No special inspection is required after construction, and if waterproofing defects are found, they are easy to repair. We produce a natural inorganic material, so it has permanent waterproofing properties and does not age or corrode even after a long period or changes in the surrounding environment, so the waterproofing properties are long-lasting and durable, unaffected by temperature and do not become brittle in cold climates.

Environmental friendliness of Clay Geosynthetic Barriers

Clay Geosynthetic Barrier is a natural inorganic material, which is harmless and non-toxic to the human body, has no special effect on the environment, and has good environmental performance. It can still be constructed at negative temperature (-20°C) where conventional waterproof materials cannot be constructed; it can also be built on a wet substrate (but without clear water); it cannot be built in rainy and snowy weather; it does not apply to strong acid and strong alkali. Our product has better durability than other organic waterproof materials.

The geosynthetic clay liner is generally around 5MM-8MM, we can customize the right length according to your needs; we produce Clay Geosynthetic Barriers for landfill, underground reservoirs, underground infrastructure construction, and other environmental engineering projects to solve the problem of sealing, isolation, and anti-seepage, with good effect and strong resistance to damage.
