Nonwoven Geotextile Fabrics

Nonwoven Geotextile Fabrics

Nonwoven geotextile fabrics are often referred to as ‘multipurpose’, and to a great degree deliver on that promise. Contributing to their popularity is their cost-of-manufacture to weight ratio is less than their woven counterparts. The manufacturing process of nonwoven geotextiles is very different from that of woven geotextiles, with needlepunched finishing as the leader. When used in filtration applications it is important to note that the actual mechanics of this function by nonwoven geotextiles are much different than the original woven monofilaments.

Geotextile fabric: uses and applications

Geotextile fabric: uses and applications

Geotextiles are permeable fabrics consisting mainly of materials such as polypropylene and polyester. Depending on their manufacturing method, they may be woven or non woven, based upon the type of application they are intended for. Woven and non woven fabrics have different production methods. While non woven geotextile fabrics comprise fibres, filaments or other elements that are joined together randomly, in the case of woven fabrics, these yarns, fibres or filaments are intertwined. In this new post, we will focus on the features of applications of woven geotextile fabrics.
