Geosynthetic Clay Liner Manufacturers

A geosynthetic clay liner (GCL) is a geotechnical material used as an alternative to traditional clay liners to provide a barrier against potentially hazardous liquid or solid waste. GCLs are made of layers of bentonite clay sandwiched between geosynthetic materials like woven and non-woven fabrics, nets, and grids. The combination of clay and synthetic materials creates a product with superior hydraulic and chemical properties, making it resistant to different types of contaminants.

As the demand for GCLs has grown in recent years, several manufacturers have emerged to supply the construction and environmental industries with this increasingly popular material. Here are some of the leading geosynthetic clay liner manufacturers:

NAUE GmbH & Co. KG: This Germany-based company is a world leader in geosynthetics, including GCLs. NAUE produces a range of GCLs for different applications, including landfill lining and capping, waste containment, and ponds. Their flagship product is the Bentofix® GCL, which features needle-punched nonwoven geotextiles and high-swelling sodium bentonite.
GSE Environmental: GSE is a global company with manufacturing facilities in North America, Europe, and Asia. They offer a wide variety of geosynthetics and are one of the largest manufacturers of GCLs worldwide. GSE's line of GCL products includes the Bentoliner® series, which features non-woven and woven geotextiles.
TenCate Geosynthetics: TenCate is a leading provider of geosynthetics and industrial fabrics. They manufacture a range of GCL products, including the GreenLine™ series, which was developed specifically for environmental applications like landfill liners, canal lining, and secondary containment. TenCate's GCLs feature a woven or non-woven geotextile on one or both sides of the bentonite clay layer.
Carthage Mills: Based in Tennessee, USA, Carthage Mills is a manufacturer of geosynthetic materials, including GCLs. Their product line includes the AquaBlok® series, which is designed for use in hydraulic applications like pond liners, levees, and dams. AquaBlok GCLs are composed of non-woven geotextile, bentonite clay, and a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) film.
Officine Maccaferri S.p.A.: Maccaferri is an Italian company that provides innovative solutions for civil engineering and geotechnical applications. They produce a line of GCLs under the name MacLine®, which is designed for use in landfill, mining, and oil and gas applications. Maccaferri's GCLs feature a non-woven geotextile and a needle-punched geotextile for enhanced puncture resistance and stability.

Other notable manufacturers of GCLs include CETCO, Inc., HUESKER, Inc., and Agru America, Inc.
