BentIzol® SB 4 bentonite mat — lightweight liner on natural bentonite
Lightweight mat on natural sodium bentonite for liners of ponds, canals and landfills; a 5 × 40 m roll weighing 880 kg.

BentIzol® cord is a profiled strip of bentonite with butyl rubber that is placed on the water-pressure side immediately before concreting. In contact with water it swells by at least 100 % in 5 h and by 200 % in 24 h, withstands pressure up to 7.0 bar and retains its properties over an unlimited number of wetting and drying cycles. Rectangular sections 25×20, 25×15 and 15×10 mm and a round Ø20 mm section are produced; the cord seals cold joints, precast reinforced concrete joints and utility penetrations, but is not used as the sole seal of thermal expansion joints.
