Fibers <br /> from the cap/top nonwoven geotextile are needle punched through the layer of bentonite and incorporated into the <br /> " carrier/bottom geotextile (either a woven or a nonwoven). A proprietary heat treating process — the Thermal Lock <br /> process—is then used to modify and more permanently lock the needle punched fibers into place by best burnishing the <br /> carrier geotextile surface. Unique properties, including increased internal shear resistance and long-term creep <br /> resistance result from this production. <br /> k When hydrated under a confining load, the bentonite swells to form a low permeability clay layer with the equivalent <br /> hydraulic protection of several feet of compacted clay. The excellent hydraulic properties and slope performance of the <br /> Bentofix®Thermal Lock®GCLs make the product ideal for many lining and cap containment projects. <br /> Primary features of the Bentofix®GCLs: <br /> ' • High internal shear strength <br /> Uniform bentonite content <br /> • Excellent installation durability <br /> More versatile than compacted clay <br /> • Increased airspace and liner efficiency <br /> • Improved leakage performance <br /> Bentofix is a registered trademark of NAUE GmbH&Co.KG. <br /> €AN <br /> 11111"s- <br /> Print this page <br /> Privacy I Leg.a.l,. <br /> Bookmark This Page I Email This Page I Copy URL to Clipboard <br /> GSE and other marks used herein are trademarks and service marks of GSE Lining Technology,Inc., <br /> certain of which are registered in the U.S.A.and other countries. <br /> http://www.gseworld.com/Products/gcls/bentofixibentofix.htm?DSO45nwl 5/5/2006 <br />
