VOLTEX® DSL

BENTONITE GEOTEXTILE WATERPROOFING SYSTEM

VOLTEX DSL DESCRIPTION

Voltex DSL is a sodium bentonite-based waterproofing barrier with a HDPE laminate for improved
performance.The bentonite is contained between two geotextile carriers, which are needle punched to prevent
movement of the bentonite during construction and handling. This type of package also prevents the product
from being damaged by moisture.

Notes:
1. Bentonite property tests performed at CETCO’s bentonite processing facility before shipment to CETCO’s GCL production facilities.
2. Bentonite mass/ unit area reported at 0% percent moisture content.
3. All tensile testing is performed in the machine direction using ASTM D 6768 with results as minimum average roll values unless otherwise indicated. All peel strength testing is
performed using ASTM D 6496. Upon request, tensile and peel results can be reported per modified ASTM D 4632 using 4 inch grips.
4. Index flux and permeability testing with desired distilled/ deionized water at 80psi (551 kPa) cell pressure, 77 psi (531 kPa) headwater pressure and 75 psi
(517 kPa) tail water pressure. Flux and permeability values above should not be used for equivalency calculations unless the pressures and gradients used
represent field conditions.
5. Roll width and lengths have a tolerance of ±1%.
