The membrane structure comprises water absorbing and water swelling polymers. An optional one-side polyethylene film on top of the needle-punched non-woven membrane and the self-healing properties of the DYWI Seal Waterproofing System ensure optimum performance for various water sealing applications. Bentonite mats, also referred to as geosynthetic clay liners (GCL s), are geosynthetic barriers used for various sealing and waterproofing applications in underground mining and civil engineering. DYWI Seal Bentonite Mats are a composite consisting of two layers of geo-textiles filled with sodium bentonite. The application range of DYWI Seal Bentonite Mats comprises waterproofing, gas sealing, and usage as a vapor barrier. Bentonite mats are a proven and versatile sealing system that has been used in many construction projects around the world. 3

10 DYWI Seal Bentonite Mats Installation Procedure 1. Preparation of the foundation basis Removal of sharp rock blocks, organic material, and obstacles that are larger than 50 mm Moisture-free compaction of the ground to a factor of 0.9 of the Proctor density (Proctor compaction test) 2. Installation DYWI Seal Bentonite Mats must be protected from all weather conditions Installation may only be performed in dry surface conditions DYWI Seal Bentonite Mats are rolled out without folds on level ground, which has been previously prepared The woven part faces the ground; in case of one-sided coated mats, the coating faces up Panel must be laid out parallel to slopes and secured accordingly in anchor trenches 3. Overlapping Overlapping of single panels between the two boundary lines printed in the edge area The overlapping area must be increased if major settlements are expected Filling of the overlapping zone with additionally supplied bentonite powder Coverage of DYWI Seal Bentonite Mats immediately after the installation is complete, layer thickness > 25 cm 4.
