Masterbent Geosynthetic Clay Liners

The unique Masterbent Geosynthetic Clay Liners (GCLs) are used for horizontal and vertical waterproofing in industrial, civil and transport infrastructure construction, as they have advanced sealing features and work not just in fresh water, but in saline, alkaline, and acid solutions. Produced under the standard of SТО 87299967.004-2015 “Rolled geosynthetic bentonite materials Masterbent”.

Our GCL’s withstand the harshest environments and are up to any waterproofing task!

Easy to use, shipped in compact rolls and have many other advantages other waterproofing materials lack:

• Waterproof. Will protect the facility from ground water and humidity,
• Withstand the aggressive chemical solutions,
• Quickly self-heal after mechanical damage;
• Durable: withstand hydrostatic pressure up to 7 atmospheres and movement of construction equipment;
• Withstand unlimited number of hydration-dehydration, freeze-thaw cycles; low-temperature resistant;
• Retain elasticity in as low as -70C,
• Resistant to mechanical impact,
• Simple installation, no welding required. Can be installed by personnel not familiar with product. Using our instruction manual, customers can install GCLs on their own,
• Can be installed at any time of the year, no additional base preparation required,
• Long-term: the product lifecycle is comparable to the lifecycle of the facility.

You will benefit from our Masterbent GCL if

• You need reliable waterproofing that will provide 100% protection. Masterbent GCLs are created with the latest technology and guarantee waterproofing and sealing.
• You need faster waterproofing solution. Masterbent allows to reduce base preparation and bentonite liner installation workload due to its versatility. The pace of horizontal installation can be up to 10,000 square meters per working shift.
• You want to reduce installation cost. GCLs installation does not require highly-qualified personnel. With our instruction manual, your working crew is able to install GCLs on their own, as no welding is required.
• You have stringent due date for construction project. With our material one don’t need to wait for spring or summer: it can’t be installed at any time of the year, in any climatic conditions. Geosynthetic GCL retains all of its features at any temperature.
• You want to save budget. With our material, you can save on average around 30% on the estimated costs of waterproofing construction project comparing with other materials!

Application:

In civil and industrial construction projects for waterproofing of:

• building and construction foundation, including low- and high-rise housing and private residences;
• basement premises, including cellars, garages, etc.;
• underground and embedded structures (car parking, storehouses, passages, underground crossings, etc.);
• tunnels;
• accessible roof;
• manifold pipes, concrete wells, reservoirs.

In transport infrastructure construction for:

• securing the roadbed’s core from washaway when constructing roads on soft grounds;
• securing the banket’s body from soaking and washaway during seasonal water table rise, protecting from aggressive subsoil water in wetland and flooded areas;
• railways construction to protect the embankment’s body from soaking and washaway during seasonal water table rise and secure backslopes from aggressive subsoil water;
• construction of take-off runways and surface drainage (waterproofing diversions).

In land improvements of private houses and landscape design for:

• creating artificial decoratory ponds;
• external sealing of pool basin.

Masterbent GCLs are supplied in separate rolls in the size of 1.15 x 5m w/o core, tied up with adhesive tape on wooden pallets (35 rolls/pallet) covered by stretch wrap; and rolls in the size of 2.5 x 10m with core packed into hermetic hood of polyethylene foil.
