Geotextiles: types, scope of application

Geotextiles are materials with a very wide range of applications. These are construction and agriculture, geotechnics and medicine, production of hygiene products and furniture, tailoring and packaging of various goods — the specific scope of application depends on the type of geotextile.

Construction

Polypropylene needle-punched geotextiles have been in demand in the construction industry for a long time. But relatively recently, manufacturers have proposed a material made using a new technology, where instead of needles, thin, high-pressure jets of water are used. This approach made it possible to preserve the integrity of the monofilament from which the fabric was woven, while the needles damaged it during the production process. Today, the so-called hydro-bonded geotextiles are widely used in the construction of foundations, laying paving stones or paving slabs, laying highways, railway tracks and even runways.

Agricultural industry

Agriculture uses both thermally bonded geotextiles with a so-called UV stabilizer, as well as the needle-punched and hydro-bonded types of geotextiles described above. The first option is used in the construction of greenhouses, since it has the effect of protecting against increased solar radiation. The latter types are used mainly for geotechnical work, for example, to strengthen slopes.

Medicine, hygiene

Thermally bonded geotextiles are also in demand in medicine, where they are used in sewing disposable clothing, bedding, etc. As a rule, two— or three-layer material is used in this case. In addition, another type of geotextile, the so—called spunbond, is used in the manufacture of hygiene products such as tampons, pads, diapers and disposable napkins.

Furniture, household appliances

Geotextiles are also used in furniture production, as well as for the production of filters for some types of household appliances, but cheaper grades are made from staple or polyester yarn. In the manufacture of upholstered furniture and mattresses to it, it is used for lining.

Packaging, drainage

Packaging bags for the same furniture, as well as for household appliances, clothing and shoes, are also made from heat-bonded textiles, only this time, without the UV stabilizer mentioned above. In addition, this type of geotextile is widely used for winding drainage pipes and making filters for geomembranes.
