General information about BONAR Polypropylene Woven Fabrics
Separating and reinforcing layer combined in one product
BONAR polypropylene woven fabrics are used in all situations where earth reinforcement is required in addition to the separation of layers.
The woven tape fabric is manufactured by cutting and stretching strips from a polypropylene sheet. These are then woven to produce a geotextile in which the individual tapes are evenly arranged in both the longitudinal (warp) and lateral (weft) directions.
The woven geotextile distributes applied loads at the same level across the surface. At the same time, the tightly interwoven structure of the fabric ensures effective separation of the different soil layers. This characteristic distinguishes BONAR woven geotextiles from geogrids, which only reinforce the soil and therefore require the use of an additional separating layer (such as a non-woven geotextile) in certain applications.

The Applications of BONAR polypropylene woven fabrics
Applications of BONAR polypropylene woven fabrics
Woven tape fabric is the preferred geotextile for surface stabilisation and for increasing load-bearing capacities in highway, traffic route and rail construction. Particularly where substrate stabilisation for paved or unpaved traffic routes is concerned, BONAR woven geotextiles provide a far simpler and more cost-effective solution than conventional methods such as soil replacement or soil stabilisation using lime.
Applications:
- Traffic routes
- Service roads
- Parking areas
- Cycle paths
- Construction site access roads
