Self-Healing & Puncture Resistance---AquaSeal Plus GCL: The Intelligent, Self-Repairing Waterproofing Membrane

Product Description:
AquaSeal Plus is engineered for resilience. Understanding that no installation is perfect, we've designed this GCL with intelligent self-healing as its core principle. The heart of the product is a specially selected sodium bentonite, known for its high swell index. This core is needle-punched between two strong geotextiles, a process that mechanically locks the fibers through the bentonite layer, creating exceptional internal shear strength. This robust composite structure can withstand typical subgrade stresses. Most importantly, when compromised by a puncture or a seam, the surrounding bentonite hydrates, migrates into the void, and swells to form a permanent, watertight seal, effectively "healing" the damage autonomously.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Autonomous Self-Healing: Effectively seals around penetrations, root tips, and minor installation damage, ensuring long-term integrity.

• Enhanced Internal Shear Strength: The needle-punched reinforcement provides superior resistance to internal sliding, crucial for slope stability.

• Excellent Puncture Resistance: The layered geotextile structure protects the bentonite core from mechanical damage during and after installation.

• Reduced Long-Term Liability: The self-healing capability minimizes the risk of leak paths developing over time, offering greater project security.

Primary Applications:

• Landfill caps and cover systems

• Tunnel and underground structure waterproofing

• Lining for stormwater management detention ponds

• Projects with complex geometries and potential for stress points
