Geotextile Filter Fabric Non Woven 8 oz

8 oz. geotextile fabrics are medium weight and durable with 205 lb grab tensile strength and are multi-purpose in their application. Created by a needle-punched process, non woven geotextile filter fabric's felt-like texture provides high flow rates (90 gpm) and permeability (1.4 sec-1). These features are well-suited for drainage management and filtration projects. Non woven geotextile fabric's filtration properties also work well in separating aggregates and in protecting drainage systems from clogging. 8 oz. geotextile filter fabric is rot and UV resistant as well as being pH stable (2 to 13 pH).

8 oz Non Woven Geotextile Filter Fabric ships nearly anywhere and is available by the roll or with bulk pallet pricing.

If strength is more important to your project than filtration, Woven Geotextile Filter Fabric may be what your project needs.

8 oz. geotextile fabric is one of the most commonly used non woven geotextile filter fabrics. A medium weight fabric with good drainage and strength, it is well suited for a wide range of project applications and environments. Popular uses of non woven geotextile filter fabric include:

• French Drains: In ground trenching of stone or drainage pipe with a geotextile filter fabric wrap. This creates a drainage system that collects and routes stormwater away from the project area. The geotextile filter fabric for French drains protects the stone (or pipe) from getting clogged with sediment and debris.
• Separation of Aggregate: Non woven geotextile filter fabric is particularly effective in separating soils and aggregate materials. It stabilizes the soil beneath while allowing drainage and keeps the aggregate in place and from blending into the subsurface. This helps extend the longevity of the application.
• Asphalt Overlay: Adding the use of non woven geotextile filter fabric to road construction or other paving projects extends the life of the pavement significantly. A longer use life reduces the impact of replacement on municipal budgets. When installed per specifications, using a non woven geotextile filter fabric for road construction or even resurfacing projects can improve the performance of the finished pavement by 50%.
• Erosion Control: 8 oz geotextile fabric is also effective for long-term erosion control. Far stronger than biodegradable matting, non woven geotextile filter fabric can withstand most moderate site condition stresses and will have a long field use life.
