Our nonwoven geotextile is a high-performance, permeable fabric engineered for critical civil and environmental applications. Manufactured from continuous polypropylene filaments thermally bonded together, it delivers exceptional durability and consistent performance.
Key Features & Benefits:
Superior Separation: Prevents intermixing of soil layers, maintaining structural integrity.
Effective Filtration: Allows water flow while retaining soil particles, preventing erosion.
Reliable Drainage: Facilitates lateral water movement within its plane.
Reinforcement & Protection: Enhances soil stability and cushions geomembranes from puncture.
UV & Rot Resistant: Long-lasting performance in exposed and buried conditions.
Consistent Permeability: Predictable flow characteristics.
Easy Installation: Lightweight and available in convenient roll sizes.
Typical Applications: Road & railway subgrades, landfills, drainage systems, erosion control, pond liners, beneath hardscapes.
Available Specifications:
Weights: 100 gsm to 800 gsm (Custom weights possible)
Widths: 1m to 6.5m (Standard & Custom)
Roll Lengths: 50m, 100m, 200m (Custom lengths available)
Standards: ASTM, ISO, CE standards compliant.
Choose nonwoven geotextile for essential separation, filtration, and protection.
Geotextile Comparison Table: Nonwoven vs. Woven vs. Knitted
Feature | Staple Nonwoven Geotextile | Woven Geotextile | Knitted Geotextile |
---|---|---|---|
Structure | Randomly oriented filaments, thermally bonded. | Monofilaments or tapes woven in perpendicular directions (warp & weft). | Yarns looped together in an interlocking pattern. |
Primary Function | Separation, Filtration, Drainage, Protection. | Reinforcement, Separation, Stabilization. | Reinforcement, Separation (often with high elongation). |
Tensile Strength | Moderate to High. High elongation at break. | Very High (especially in machine direction), Low elongation. | Moderate to High, Very High Elongation. |
Flow Characteristics | High Permeability (in-plane & cross-plane). Good filtration. | Low to Moderate Permeability (cross-plane). Can act as a barrier. Filtration often poor without special weave. | Moderate Permeability. Depends on stitch density. |
Puncture Resistance | Very High. Excellent for protection. | Moderate to High. | Moderate. |
Soil Interaction | Excellent conformability to soil surface. | Less conformable, stiffer fabric. | Good conformability, flexible. |
Typical Applications | Separation (roads, railways), Drainage layers, Landfill liners/caps, Filtration, Erosion control under riprap, Protection. | Reinforcement (steep slopes, walls, embankments), Stabilization (soft subgrades), Separation under very high loads, Sediment control. | Slope reinforcement, Gabions, Erosion control mats (often combined with other materials), Applications needing high flexibility/elongation. |
Key Advantages | Excellent filtration/separation/drainage, High puncture resistance, Good conformability. | Highest tensile strength/stiffness, Excellent load distribution, High abrasion resistance. | High flexibility & elongation, Good conformability, Often used in composite structures. |
Notes:
Woven : Often made from slit tapes (fibrillated) or monofilaments. Monofilament wovens offer better permeability.
Knitted : Less common as a standalone geotextile than nonwoven or woven. Frequently used in composite geotextiles or geocomposites (e.g., with geogrids or meshes) or in specific products like gabion mesh.
Function Focus: Nonwoven excels in hydraulic functions (filtration/drainage). Woven excels in mechanical functions (reinforcement/stabilization). Knitted offers flexibility and high elongation.
