Geotextiles, also known as geofabrics, are permeable geosynthetic materials made from synthetic fibers through needle-punching or weaving. Geotextiles are a type of new geosynthetic material, produced in fabric form, generally 4–6 meters wide and 50–100 meters long. They are categorized into woven geotextiles and non-woven filament geotextiles.
Features
1. High strength: Using plastic fibers, geotextiles maintain full strength and elongation in both dry and wet conditions.
2. Corrosion resistance: They can withstand long-term exposure to soils and waters of varying acidity and alkalinity.
3. Good permeability: Spaces between fibers provide excellent water drainage.
4. Microbe resistance: They are not harmed by microorganisms or insect damage.
5. Easy installation: Lightweight and flexible, they are convenient to transport, lay, and install.
