Woven Geotextiles
High-Strength Fabrics for Reinforcement, Separation & Stabilization
Overview
Woven geotextiles are engineered by interlacing warp and weft yarns to form durable and stable fabrics for civil, environmental, and industrial use. These fabrics are ideal for soil reinforcement, separation, and load distribution.
Filtech Textiles offers a wide range of woven geotextiles in polypropylene, polyester, nylon, cotton, and PC satin to suit varied performance needs.
Types of Woven Geotextile Fabrics
- Polypropylene (PP): Lightweight, chemically inert, and UV-stabilized — ideal for road and landfill applications.
- Polyester (PET): Offers high tensile and thermal resistance — used in railways, embankments, and erosion control.
- Nylon: Exceptionally flexible and puncture-resistant — used in dynamic applications like drains and slopes.
- Cotton: Natural and biodegradable — suitable for agricultural and temporary landscaping uses.
- PC Satin (Poly-Cotton): A smooth and visually aesthetic fabric — used in covers, wrapping, and architectural layers.
- Acrylic: UV-resistant and colorfast — preferred for outdoor wraps, signage, and architectural facades.
- Aramid (Nomex): High-performance synthetic with excellent thermal and abrasion resistance — ideal for high-temperature filtration and reinforcement.
- Fiberglass: Inorganic and highly temperature-resistant — used in furnaces, boilers, and high-heat geotextile systems.
- PTFE (Teflon): Chemically inert and resistant to extreme temperatures and UV — ideal for corrosive, high-purity industrial geotextile applications.
