Non Woven Long Fiber Geotextile: Superior Strength for Demanding Applications

Product Specification

Product Overview:
Our  non woven long fiber geotextile is engineered for high-performance reinforcement and stabilization. Manufactured from robust polypropylene or polyester filaments woven into a strong, uniform fabric, it delivers exceptional tensile strength, low elongation, and outstanding durability. This product is specifically designed for projects where structural integrity and long-term stability are paramount, offering distinct advantages over non-woven short-fiber alternatives in reinforcement applications.

Key Characteristics & Advantages:

• Exceptional Tensile Strength: Provides very high tensile strength at low strain (typically 20-200+ kN/m), enabling it to absorb and distribute significant loads and stresses, thereby reinforcing soil structures.

• Low Elongation & High Modulus: Exhibits minimal stretching under load (typically 8-15% strain at break), providing immediate stabilization and confinement of aggregate materials.

• Superior Resistance to Creep: The continuous filament construction offers excellent long-term resistance to deformation under constant load, ensuring permanent performance.

• High Puncture and Tear Resistance: Withstands installation stresses and aggressive subgrade conditions without compromising integrity.

• Controlled Permeability: The precise weave creates consistent pore sizes (AOS) that permit water flow while preventing soil particle migration.

• UV and Chemical Resistance: UV-stabilized polymers provide durability against sunlight exposure and resistance to soil chemicals.

Comparative Advantages: Long-Filament vs. Short-Fiber Geotextiles

• Tensile Strength & Reinforcement:

  • Long-Filament: Exceptionally high tensile strength, ideal for reinforcement and stabilization applications (e.g., steep slopes, road bases).

  • Short-Fiber: Lower tensile strength; primary functions are separation, filtration, and protection, not structural reinforcement.

• Elongation & Modulus:

  • Long-Filament: Low elongation (high modulus), providing immediate stability under load.

  • Short-Fiber: Higher elongation, more flexible and conformable, but not suitable for load distribution.

• Filtration Function:

  • Long-Filament: Filtration is graded (particle retention based on pore size). Ideal for separation and preventing soil pumping.

  • Short-Fiber: Filtration is mechanical (particle retention within the fabric's depth). Excellent for preventing clogging in drainage applications.

• Applications:

  • Long-Filament: Used where strength is critical: road base reinforcement, embankments, MSE walls, landfills, and construction platforms.

  • Short-Fiber: Used where filtration, separation, or protection is primary: underdrains, pond liners, erosion control, and landscape fabric.

Primary Application Fields:

• Road & Railway Base Reinforcement: Separates subgrade from aggregate, confines base material, and distributes loads to reduce rutting and extend lifespan.

• Steep Slope & Embankment Stabilization: Provides the tensile strength needed to construct and stabilize reinforced soil slopes and walls (MSE).

• Landfill Systems: Used in base reinforcement, cap systems, and leachate collection layers for separation and reinforcement.

• Construction Access Roads & Working Platforms: Creates a stable platform over soft soils for heavy equipment.

• Coastal & Riverbank Protection: Provides reinforcement in revetments, groynes, and other erosion control structures.

Selection Guide:
Choose Woven Long-Filament Geotextile for projects requiring high tensile strength, low elongation, and soil reinforcement. Choose Non-Woven Short-Fiber Geotextile for projects prioritizing drainage, filtration, separation, and protection.

For unmatched strength and stability, trust our woven long-filament geotextile to provide the critical reinforcement your most demanding projects require.
