Geotextile White PP offers several advantages due to its specific composition, manufacturing process, and functional properties:
1. Effective Filtration:
It acts as a sand filter, allowing water to move through the soil while simultaneously retaining all upstream soil particles. This prevents the loss of soil and maintains the integrity of the ground structure.
2. Soil Separation:
It effectively separates two layers of soil that have different particle size distributions. This prevents the intermixing of distinct soil layers, which is crucial for maintaining the performance of layered constructions.
3. Protection:
The geotextile helps in preventing or limiting local damage to materials, elements, or other geosynthetics. This protective function extends the lifespan and performance of other construction components.
4. Drainage Capability:
It functions as a drain, capable of carrying fluid flows through less permeable soils. This is beneficial for managing water in areas where natural drainage is insufficient.
5. High-Quality Material:
It is a nonwoven geotextile made of high-quality white polypropylene staples. The use of staple fibers and the needlepunched and calendared process contributes to its strength and performance.
6. Purity of Manufacturing:
The product is manufactured without the use of any glues or chemical binders and post-consumer raw material. This ensures a consistent and uncontaminated product.
7. UV Stabilization:
It is UV stabilized, which means it has some resistance to degradation from ultraviolet light exposure.
8. Standard Compliance:
Geotextile White PP fulfills the requirements of the European directive related to construction products. This indicates that it meets recognized quality and safety standards.
9. Proven Durability:
It safely passes the weathering test according to EN 12224. The durability forecast for the material is a minimum of 25 years in natural ground under specific pH (4-9) and temperature (< 25 °C) conditions.
