GCL (Geosynthetic Clay Liner)
GCL it is an impermeable, reliable barrier, as well as fast and efficient.
We manufacture GCL (Geosynthetic Clay Liner) with an annual production capacity of 10,000,000 m², offering different configurations tailored to each project: woven or nonwoven top and bottom layers, variable weights, and dimensions adapted to each application.
Our GCLs combine high-performance impermeability, ease of installation, and chemical resistance, making them a competitive solution compared to traditional sealing systems such as compacted clay or geomembranes.
Key Advantages
1. High-performance waterproofing
Thanks to its natural sodium bentonite core, GCL provides extremely low permeability levels.
When activated upon contact with water, it forms a continuous and flexible seal.
Ideal as a primary or secondary hydraulic barrier.
2. Simple and fast installation
Supplied in ready-to-install rolls with predefined overlaps.
Does not require heavy machinery or highly specialized labor.
Significantly reduces construction time and overall logistics.
3. Self-healing capability
The bentonite expands and self-seals in the event of minor punctures, providing an added layer of safety against localized damage.
4. Chemical resistance and long-term stability
Maintains its properties when exposed to aggressive leachates, saline solutions, and extreme pH conditions.
Ensures long-term stability even in buried environments or in the presence of contaminants.
