woven & nonwoven geotextile | Difference & uses ?

Geotextile (literally means the earth protector) is actually a textile made of polypropylene (P.P) or polyester (PES / PET) polymers, which are produced in woven and non-woven forms. Woven and Non-Woven Geotextile are permeable and have the ability to separate, filter, reinforce, protect or drain when used with soil. They are produced by various methods such as needle punching ,Heat Bonding, or chemical (Resin Bonding) and have a felt-like structure without specific warp and woof (non-woven). , Bearing pressure and shocks, bitumen absorption and most importantly the possibility of selective passage means the passage of fluids while soil particles are not allowed to pass.

DETAIL FABRIC

DETAIL FABRIC

DETAIL FABRIC is a polypropylene, staple fiber, needle-punched, nonwoven geotextile fabric. The fibers are needled to form a stable network that retains dimensional stability relative to each other. The geotextile is resistant to ultraviolet degradation and to biological and chemical environments normally found in soils.

Non Woven Geotextile Fabric

Non Woven Geotextile Fabric

Non woven geotextile are rot-resistant, needle punched fabrics that have high permittivity and water flow rates. This high flow through rate makes nonwoven geotextile fabric perfect for filtration and permanent sediment control. For example, nonwoven geotextile drainage fabric is used to make dewatering bags, which is one of the best ways to remove sediment from water. The weights of non woven geotextile we offer range from light weight to heavy weight.

Geotextiles in civil engineering

The majority of geotextiles are produced using classic or conventional fabric manufacturing techniques. The manufacturing processes for the production of geotextiles can be broadly classified in two categories, (1) classic and (2) special geotextiles.11 In classic geotextiles, the products of the textile industry, such as woven, knitted, nonwoven fabrics, etc., are considered, whereas special geotextiles, while having a similar appearance to classic geotextiles, are not the direct products of textile technology, i.e. webbing, mats, and nets. A typical classification of the production of geotextiles is depicted in Fig. 4.6.11

What is the difference between a woven and nonwoven geotextile?

The use of geotextiles has steadily grown over the past century. Geotextiles were initially derived from existing textiles that were readily available on the market, such as carpet back and upholstery fabric. Manufacturers have modified geotextiles to provide increased benefits to roadway construction. While there are two main types (wovens and nonwovens), there is often still some confusion as to which product to use on your Jobsite. Common misconceptions about the functions of a woven geotextile vs. a nonwoven geotextile can often lead to added confusion. This tech-note will go into detail about the two main types of geotextiles and their functions.
