Needle-punched polypropylene and polyester nonwoven Geotextiles are made from the highest quality virgin fibers to form a sturdy fabric designed to meet the applications of drainage, filtration, separation, protection, stability and reinforcement. Nonwoven Geotextiles have multiple uses, including filtration, drainage, reinforcement, protection and soil separation.
In terms of applications, the filtration purpose of nonwoven filtration geotextiles is to provide permanent mechanical and hydraulic filtration stability, because when water flows from fine-grained soil to coarse-grained soil, it retains fine particles. For drainage, drainage and exhaust should be carried out in the plane of the geotextile. In order to enhance the strength, the nonwoven fabric improves the soil quality and structural stability by providing the bonding mechanism of the geotextile system, thereby increasing the shear strength of the soil. As a cushion or protective layer, non-woven fabric can provide permanent protection for the synthetic sealing system (geomembrane), so that it will not be damaged by machinery during the installation process and after the construction. It can also be used as a support material impregnated with asphalt or plastic sealing materials. For separation, it permanently prevents the two materials from mixing.
Features:
- Filtration: Provides permanent mechanical and hydraulic filter stability, because when water flows from fine-grained soil to coarse-grained soil, it can retain fine particles
- Drainage: drainage and exhaust in the plane of the geotextile
- Reinforcement: Improve the shear strength of the soil by providing a bonding mechanism of the geotextile-soil system, thereby improving soil quality and structural stability
- Cushion/protective layer: permanently protect the synthetic sealing system (geo-membrane) from mechanical damage during installation and after construction
- Waterproof: used as supporting material for impregnated asphalt or plastic modified sealing material
- Separation: permanently prevent mixing of the two materials
Non-woven geotextile, very suitable for soil separation, filtration, etc.
What is Woven Geotextitle
Woven Geotextiles are manufactured by mixing and weaving fibers together on a loom to form a uniform length. As a result, the product is not only rugged and durable, it is well-suited for road construction and parking applications, and it also has excellent equipment to deal with ground stability issues. They are relatively impermeable and do not provide the best separation of fines. Woven geotextile is resistant to UV degradation and suitable for long-term applications.
Woven Geotextiles are measured by tensile strength and strain, which is the resistance a material has to breaking under tension.
What is Non Woven Geotextitle
Non Woven Geotextiles are made by entanglement of long or short fibers by needle punching or other methods. Then some additional heat treatment is applied to further increase the strength of the geotextile. Due to this manufacturing process and its permeability, Non Woven Geotextiles are generally best suited for drainage, separation, filtration and protection applications. Non-woven fabrics refer to weight (ie gsm/g/m²), which is more felt-like in feel and appearance.
Woven or Non Woven geotextiles have many uses. Whether you need ground stabilization, separation of base, aggregate and other materials, or drainage and filtration, there is now a geotextile suitable for your project. Make sure to choose the correct option every time.
