What is Mirafi 500X used for?

Mirafi 500X geotextile fabric applications include separation under parking lots, residential streets, and roadways. Mirafi® 500X is used over good to moderate strength subgrades for separation of base materials. Mirafi® 500X meets AASHTO M288-06 Specifications for Stabilization and Separation – Class 3.

What is Mirafi 160N?

Mirafi® 160N is a nonwoven geotextile composed of polypropylene fibers, which are formed into a stable network such that the fibers retain their relative position. Mirafi® 160N is inert to biological degradation and resists naturally encountered chemicals, alkalis, and acids.

What are geotextiles made of?

To perform the above functions and satisfy the demanding requirements of cost and resistance for the intended applications, geotextiles are generically made from plastic materials, mostly polypropylene and polyester, but also polyethylene, polyamide (nylon), polyvinylidene chloride, and fibreglass (e.g., in roadway …

What is woven geotextile?

Geotextile Geolon PET is woven geo-fabric made from 100% polyester (PET). It is used for reinforcement of embankments, retaining structures, steep slopes, linear constructions, landfills, waste deposits etc. Designed and manufactured exclusively for soil reinforcement. Low strain in high tension.

What is woven geotextile used for?

Woven geotextiles provide drainage by enabling water to seep through while filtering out the sediments that might block the rest of the drainage system. They also protect the construction project against erosion by functioning as a separation barricade between the materials below and above the textiles.

What is geosynthetics engineering?

Geosynthetics are planar polymeric products, which are used in connection with soil, rock or other soil-like materials to fulfill various functions in geoenvironmental engineering. Geosynthetics are of ever-growing importance in the construction industry.

What is geotextile fabric?

A geotextile is typically defined as any permeable textile material used to increase soil stability, provide erosion control or aid in drainage. More simply put, if it is made of fabric and buried in the ground it is probably a geotextile! Geotextiles can be woven, knitted or non-woven.

Which is the largest group of geosynthetics?

Geotextiles and geomembranes are the two largest groups of geosynthetics, according to the Geosynthetic Research Institute (GRI), with geogrids representing a rapidly growing segment of the industry.

Are geotextiles permeable?

Geotextiles are permeable synthetic materials made of textile materials such as polypropylene, polyethylene, or polyester. Further, based upon their preparation, a geotextile may be woven, nonwoven, or knitted, as shown in Fig. 7.2.

Should I use woven or non-woven geotextile?

Non-woven geotextiles break down much faster than woven geotextiles because they don’t have the same reinforced strength as layers of material woven together do. However, where pooling or standing water is a problem, non-woven geotextiles offer a better choice in the management of such issues.

What kind of geotextile is the mirafi 180N?

Mirafi® 180N. Mirafi® 180N is a nonwoven geotextile composed of polypropylene fibers, which are formed into a stable network such that the fibers retain their relative position.

Which is the lighter weight version of mirafi 140N?

Mirafi® 135N, 140NL and 140NC are lighter weight versions of Mirafi® 140N . These products were developed to meet specific agency (DOT’s, MTO’s, etc.) requirements. These products can be used in areas where they meet the local agency requirements.

Which is the default class for mirafi 160N?

Mirafi® 160N is a lightweight nonwoven geotextile that meet AASHTO M288 Class 2 geotextiles for separation and subsurface drainage. Class 2 is the default Class for M288 applications.

What kind of geotextile does TenCate 140N use?

Contact your local TenCate Geosynthetic representative for the proper use and specification of these products. Mirafi® 140N is a lightweight non woven geotextile that meets AASHTO M288 Class 3 geotextiles for separation and subsurface drainage.
