BENTOLINER
BENTOLINER® LAGA is a fully needle-punched geosynthetic clay liner (GBR-C) consisting of a sealing layer of dry sodium bentonite in powder form encapsulated between a polypropylene (PP) backing fabric on the bottom and a polypropylene (PP) cover geotextile (nonwoven fabric) on the top.
Needling is performed on all layers from the cover geotextile side. Heat is used to secure the fibers of the cover nonwoven to the underside of the carrier geotextile to guarantee product bonding.
