What is the difference between Bentomat and Claymax?
Nearly all Bentomat GCLs are reinforced, where the fibers of a non-woven geotextile are needle-punched through the bentonite layer into either a woven or non-woven geotextile (depending on the product configuration). The needle-punched fibers give these Bentomat products excellent internal shear strength for use in sloped applications. Bentomat 200R and the Claymax products are non-reinforced, needle-punched GCLs for use in areas with slopes not greater than 10H:1V.
