Non Woven PP - Polyester Slope Stabilization Geotextile For Erosion Control

Geotextiles basically fall into five categories - woven, heat-bonded nonwoven, and needle-punched nonwoven, knitted and by fibre/soil mixing. Woven fabrics are made on looms which impart a regular rectilinear construction to them, but which can vary in terms of the component fibres and the weave construction. They have a surprisingly wide range of applications and they are used in lighter weight form as soil separators, filters and erosion control textiles. In heavy weights, they are used for soil reinforcement in steep embankments and vertical soil walls; the heavier weight products also tend to be used for the support of embankments built over soft soils. The beneficial property of the woven structure in terms of reinforcement, is that stress can be absorbed by the warp and weft yarns and hence by fibres, without much mechanical elongation. This gives them a relatively high modulus or stiffness.
