Differences Between Staple Fiber Geotextile and Filament Geotextile
Geotextiles are new types of geotechnical materials used in highways, water conservancy, and other engineering projects. However, there are significant differences between filament geotextiles and staple fiber geotextiles. These differences are mainly reflected in the following points:
1. Different fiber forms: Staple fiber geotextiles are made of polyester staple fibers, while filament geotextiles are made of polyester chips.
2. In terms of technical indicators, filament geotextiles perform better than staple fiber geotextiles.
3. The friction coefficient of filament geotextiles is significantly higher than that of staple fiber geotextiles.
4. The production equipment for filament geotextiles requires a large investment and high technical content and is generally produced by large manufacturers, whereas the equipment for staple fiber geotextiles is relatively simple.
