What is interesting about geotextiles, what is used in the garden and sports

Who would have thought that a material such as geotextile, created in the late 1970s, would become so demanded and will find application not only in agriculture and construction, but also in furniture production, medicine and even in sports.

What is geotextile

Most common geotextilebased on polyesters and polypropylene. Polyester geotextiles are more affordable, as they are mainly made from recyclable materials, such as PET bottles. It is distinguished by a longer pile and low tensile strength. Polypropylene material is denser and smoother, does not delaminate, and it is much more difficult to break it. Both types of geotextiles are colored with dyes of different shades.

We can say that polyester geotextile is very good for landscape gardening and horticulture, while polypropylene should be used where strength is indispensable, for example, in road construction and reinforcement slopes.

What is achieved using geotextiles

From the time the popular was synthesized until today

geotextile Dornit, a lot of materials have appeared with properties that allow solving a number of problems:

• Provide filtration.
• Take care of separating layers with different properties.
• Provide drainage.
• Increase the degree of isolation.
• Reinforce or reinforce the structure of the layers.
• Increase protection against breakdown or abrasion.

Why is it important to consider density and other indicators

When you meet geotextileswith a density of 60-80g / m2, then know that it is the least durable and suitable for use as a covering material, which is also called agrotextile. With a density of 100-150 g / m2, geotextile fabrics cope well with drainage and can be used to separate layers of sand and crushed stone. A denser geotextile of 200 g / m2 is suitable for arranging lawns, walking paths, alpine slides. Material in the range of 200-300 g / m2 is already quietly used for road construction, and geotextiles with a density of 300 g / m2 and more are used in the construction of autobahns and runways.

When choosing a geotextile, in each case, in addition to density, you need to pay attention to other characteristics of the material, such as the manufacturing method, according to which it happens geotextile nonwoven, woven (geofabric) and knitted stitching). The tensile strength indicator, the direction of drainage, the filtering capacity, and UV resistance are also very important.
