GoldenTex PP/PET Non Woven Geotextile
A non-woven geotextile is a permeable, felt-like fabric made from synthetic fibers (like polypropylene or polyester) bonded mechanically (needle-punched) or thermally, creating a versatile material crucial for civil engineering tasks like separation, filtration, drainage, protection, and reinforcement in soil, roads, and environmental projects, allowing water flow while retaining soil particles.
How It’s Made
- Fibers: Long or short synthetic fibers (PP, PET) are chosen.
- Bonding: Fibers are entangled and bonded using needle-punching (mechanical) or heat, forming a continuous fabric.
Key Functions & Applications
- Filtration: Prevents fine soil particles from washing away while allowing water to pass through, vital in drainage systems and retaining wall backfills.
- Separation: Keeps different soil layers or aggregate from mixing, enhancing stability (e.g., under roads).
- Drainage: Provides pathways for water and gas to escape, preventing buildup and pressure.
- Protection: Acts as a cushion to protect geomembranes (liners) from punctures during installation and use.
- Reinforcement: Improves soil strength and stability by providing tensile support.
