BentIzol® GM smooth geomembrane — polyethylene anti-seepage membrane
Smooth HDPE or LLDPE geomembrane for landfills, tailings storage facilities, canals and water bodies; chemical resistance pH 0.5–14, service life from 50 years.

SB L 5 combines the natural sodium bentonite of the SB series with a laminating polyethylene film, which makes the mat impermeable and extends its chemical resistance to the pH 1–13 range. Static puncture resistance is at least 2.2 kN, tensile load at least 12 kN/m along and 7 kN/m across the roll. The mat is suitable for liners of oil and gas facilities, landfills, tailings storage facilities and hydraulic structures, remains flexible down to −70 °C and has an unlimited service life.
