The 12 oz. nonwoven geotextile drainage fabric is a heavy weight geotextile used for filtering, underlayment, sediment control, and stabilization. The non-woven drainage fabric is constructed from polypropylene and offers a grab tensile strength of 300 pounds and still maintains a 50% elongation ability. The 12 oz. filter fabric offers a high resistance to UV exposure, rotting, and other chemicals. These fibers bound together by a needle punching process to create a nonwoven geotextile. The process helps the material maintain greater flexibility and filter out sediment in areas as needed.

Mirafi® Non-Woven Geotextile
We also carry Mirafi® nonwoven geotextile, an integral part of projects, systems or structures that include soil, rock, earth, or any other geotechnical engineering-related material. By mechanically binding random fibers together, Mirafi® filter fabrics are made to produce planar, permeable textile structures. These nonwoven drainage fabrics are perfect for landscaping, soil separation, erosion control, and more. We offer a wide range of Mirafi® nonwoven geotextile from light to heavy weight.
Our Mirafi® nonwoven filter fabrics are rot-resistant, needle punched fabrics with high permittivity and water flow rates. We offer:
Mirafi® Mscape -a lighter weight nonwoven used primarily for landscaping and weed control. Mirafi® Mscape inhibits existing weed growth and suppresses any new weed growth. Easy to install!
Mirafi® N Series - suited for soil separation and drainage. Mirafi® N Series filter fabric’s construction makes it easily conform to ground or trench surface for problem-free installation.
Mirafi® S Series -stronger fabric, used more for subsurface drainage systems and permanent erosion control. The S-Series provides an economical solution for civil engineering applications as a cost-effective alternative to graded-aggregate filters.
There are thicker options available, but they are more specialized and heavy duty, See our Mirafi® nonwoven geotextile page to learn more about filter fabric options.
12 oz. Nonwoven Geotextile Drainage Fabric Applications
Heavy weight nonwoven geotextile drainage fabric can withstand challenging conditions requiring strength (300 lb. grab tensile strength) and tear-resistance (850 lbs. of puncture resistance). Geotextile drainage fabric 12 oz.'s performance will not disappoint. What's more, this geotextile stabilization fabric still accommodates up to a 75 gpm flow rate. The thick felt-like fabric offers excellent filtration and cushioning properties as well. 12 oz nonwoven geotextile drainage fabric is recommended for:
Sediment Control
Underlayment
Stabilization
Separation
Drainage
General Erosion Control
Gravel Driveway Construction
Note: For projects with less rigorous strength demands, or for sites that require high flow rate handling, lighter weight non woven geotextile drainage fabrics may fit your project specs better. Lighter weight fabrics can also offer cost savings. We offer nonwoven geotextile fabrics in lightweight and medium weight options, check our Nonwoven Geotextiles (PDF) .
