Contact SupplierIntroduction:
Non-Woven Geotextile are needle punched fabrics made from polypropylene. The dry laid needle punch technology is based on a two step process. Firstly, polypropylene resin is extruded into fibres. Secondly, the fibres are carded and needlepunched. Finally, some types are added thermal treatment. Weights range from 100 g/m2 up to 1200 g/m2.
Functions of Non-Woven Geotextile:
Primary Functions:
Separation
The durability and mechanical properties of Non-Woven Geotextiles make them ideal as separating layers in construction works.
Filtration
The characteristic opening size of Non-Woven Geotextiles is designed to retain particles while allowing free movement of water, making it possible to separate two layers during intense hydraulic activity.
Protection
When placing a Non-Woven Geotextile on both sides of a waterproof membrane, the thickness and strength of the geotextile protect the membrane from puncture.
Secondary Function:
Drainage
Excess water is drained off the construction - not by passing through the Non-Woven Geotextile as when used for filtration - but by flowing in the plane of the geotextile leading it away from the construction.
