PRODUCT DETAILS

1. The Ultimate Double-Barrier System

Longxiang New Materials presents the next generation of containment technology: the Geosynthetic Clay Liner (GCL) with Geomembrane Composite. This advanced product combines the self-sealing properties of sodium bentonite clay with the absolute impermeability of a flexible geomembrane film (HDPE/LLDPE).

By laminating a geomembrane to the surface of a standard needle-punched GCL, we create a "Composite GCL" that offers a dual-layer defense system. It is the ideal solution for projects requiring the highest level of leak protection and gas containment.

 

2. Why Choose a GCL with Geomembrane Composite?

While standard GCLs are excellent, our Geomembrane Composite GCL takes performance to a new level:

100% Waterproofing (Even before Hydration): The attached geomembrane film provides an immediate hydraulic barrier, while the bentonite layer acts as a backup self-sealing reserve.

Superior Gas Barrier: Unlike standard porous textiles, the geomembrane film effectively blocks the migration of hazardous gases (such as Radon and Methane) and odors, making it perfect for landfill capping.

Protection Against Desiccation: The film prevents the bentonite clay from drying out (desiccation) due to heat or root absorption, ensuring the clay remains hydrated and effective.

Chemical Resistance: The added plastic layer offers enhanced resistance to aggressive chemicals that might otherwise affect the geotextiles.

 

3. Technical Structure & Specification

Our composite GCL is manufactured by bonding a flexible Geomembrane (typically 0.2mm - 0.5mm HDPE/LLDPE) to the non-woven geotextile side of the GCL.

Layer 1: High-quality PE Geomembrane Film (Barrier Layer).

Layer 2: Non-woven Geotextile (Protection & Reinforcement).

Layer 3: Natural Sodium Bentonite (Active Sealing Core).

Layer 4: Woven Geotextile (Base Carrier).

4. Critical Applications

This product is specifically engineered for high-risk and sensitive environments:

Landfill Caps & Closures: Prevents rainwater infiltration and stops landfill gas (methane) from escaping into the atmosphere.

Basement & Tunnel Waterproofing: Provides absolute water-tightness for underground structures where repair is impossible.

Roof Gardens (Green Roofs): Protects the building structure from water and aggressive plant roots.

Secondary Containment: For fuel storage tanks where zero leakage is mandated.

 

5. Why Partner with Longxiang New Materials?

As a specialized manufacturer, Longxiang New Materials utilizes state-of-the-art lamination technology to ensure a high bond strength between the geomembrane and the GCL.

Factory-Direct Pricing: Get the best value for this premium composite product.

Customization: We can adjust the thickness of the geomembrane film (0.2mm to 1.0mm) and the mass of the bentonite to suit your engineering design.

Quality Control: Rigorous testing for peel strength and permeability ensures the composite layers will not delaminate during installation.

 

6. FAQ: Composite GCL

  • Q: How do you join/seam the Composite GCL?
  • A: Unlike standard GCLs that just use bentonite paste, Composite GCLs often require the geomembrane overlap to be heat-welded or taped, while the GCL layer is supplemented with bentonite powder. We provide a full installation guide upon request.
  • Q: What is the lifespan of the Geomembrane Composite?
  • A: The combination of durable HDPE/LLDPE and natural bentonite ensures a service life of decades, even in harsh environmental conditions.
