MATERIAL & NONWOVEN STRUCTURE

Staple-Fiber Material Formed Through Needle-Punched Construction

The product is presented as a needle-punched nonwoven material rather than a range of separate sub-models. Selection should focus on the required material basis, areal mass, performance class and engineering function.

01

Staple-fiber material

PP or PET staple fiber is identified as the main raw-material basis.

02

Needle-punched nonwoven

The material is formed as a nonwoven geotextile through needle-punched construction.

03

Filtration & permeability

Opening size and vertical permeability are relevant to filtration and drainage review.

04

Separation & protection

Mechanical properties support evaluation for separation, reinforcement and protection functions.

APPLICATIONS

Engineering Contexts for Geotextile Selection

Application conditions, required function and project specifications should be considered together when defining the geotextile requirement.

01

Water Conservancy & Hydropower

Geotextile functions can be considered in water-conservancy and hydropower engineering systems.

02

Roads, Railways & Tunnels

Separation, filtration, drainage, reinforcement and protection requirements may govern selection.

03

Ports, Airports & Coastal Engineering

Product review should reflect the site conditions and specified engineering function.

04

Environmental Protection Works

Material and performance requirements should be aligned with the environmental project specification.

05

Filtration, Separation & Drainage

Opening size, permeability and mechanical properties are relevant selection inputs.

06

Reinforcement & Protection

Areal mass, strength class, bursting and tearing properties should be reviewed against project needs.

SELECTION CONSIDERATIONS

Information to Define Before Product Selection and Procurement

A clear inquiry should identify the functional, dimensional and performance requirements that govern product review and acceptance.

Polymer material requirement

State the required polymer basis rather than assuming PP and PET are interchangeable for every specification.

Areal mass

Provide the stated areal mass and any project tolerance or acceptance requirement.

Strength class

Identify the nominal longitudinal and transverse breaking-strength class.

Roll dimensions

Confirm required roll width and length for procurement and handling planning.

Elongation

Define the applicable elongation requirement within the project specification.

Bursting & tearing strength

Identify the mechanical requirements associated with the selected class.

Equivalent opening size

Confirm the required opening-size criterion for the intended filtration function.

Vertical permeability

State the permeability requirement governing filtration or drainage review.

Project specification

Provide the governing specification and any referenced performance class.

Acceptance requirements

Define required inspection items, records and contractual acceptance criteria.

MANUFACTURING & QUALITY

Align Production and Quality Review with the Confirmed Requirement

Material requirements, dimensional requirements, performance criteria and the required inspection/documentation package should be confirmed before production and supply.

  • Polymer material and stated areal mass
  • Roll width, length and dimensional requirements
  • Applicable performance class and common indicators
  • Required inspection records and procurement documents
