Enhancing environmental safety with LAGA-certified BENTOLINER geosynthetic clay liners

Geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs), like BENTOLINER^®, play a crucial role in environmental protection by forming a barrier that prevents contamination of surrounding soil and groundwater. This barrier is essential for safeguarding the environment from the adverse impacts of industrial and waste disposal activities.

BENTOLINER is a superior-grade, needled GCL, featuring top-tier sodium bentonite sandwiched between two layers of geotextile. Fibers from the upper nonwoven are needle punched through the bentonite layer into the lower woven carrier fabric. This results in a strong mechanical bond between the geotextiles, reinforces the bentonite and keeps it in place even on steep slopes.

LAGA-certified GCLs

Solmax has been offering BENTOLINER GCLs for waterproofing solutions for decades. These products are recognized as suitable for use in Class I landfills and in Class II landfills according to the LAGA suitability assessment – this is especially effective in combination with our GSE^® geomembranes.

“Our product portfolio of GSE^® liners and BENTOLINER clay liners as well as FABRINET^® drainage products make us attractive to customers as a full-range supplier, BENTOLINER LAGA is a testament to the quality we offer our customers,” says Michael Uebigau, Head of Hydraulic & Environmental Engineering at Solmax.
