Naue knows both sides. As manufacturer of both Carbofol® geomembranes and Bentofix® geosynthetic clay liners, we provide impartial technical advice across our product portfolio. Where a geomembrane is the right solution, we will specify one. But where your project cannot afford delay and a GCL is technically appropriate, Bentofix® X may be the faster answer.
Market Conditions and Material Costs Are Putting Projects Under Pressure
Rising raw material prices and constrained supply chains are affecting the entire geosynthetic lining market. Not every project can wait for conditions to ease.
Rising Geomembrane Costs Are Hitting Project Budgets
Raw material and energy prices have significantly increased geomembrane manufacturing costs. The result: budget pressure before a single metre of liner reaches site.
Lead Times Remain Extended
Weeks of waiting mean open excavations, idle trades and plant, ongoing preliminary costs — all against a programme that cannot slip.
Contractual Deadlines Cannot Slip
Planning conditions, downstream works packages, sectional completions — the programme stands. Regardless of what the materials market is doing.
Bentofix® X: When Speed and Availability Matter
Bentofix® X is a coated geosynthetic clay liner (GCL) with a sodium bentonite core. It is not a universal substitute for geomembranes — but where a mineral-based lining solution is technically appropriate, it offers decisive advantages in the current market climate:
