BentIzol® GM textured geomembrane — polyethylene membrane with texture
Polyethylene geomembrane textured on one or both sides for anti-seepage liners of landfills, tailings storage facilities and dams.

The MASTERBENT® line is intended for building waterproofing: foundations, including those of private houses, basements, car parks, tunnels, trafficable roofs, wells and the outer shell of pools. The mat is fixed to a finished structure with dowels or to the inner side of the formwork with a stapler; the substrate may be damp, and when cast together the bond to concrete is at least 0.17 MPa. In addition to 5.0 × 40 m rolls, compact rolls of 1.15 × 5 m weighing 31 kg and 2.5 × 10 m weighing 132 kg are produced; the mat withstands pressure up to 7 atm.
