Non-woven fabrics

Non-woven fabrics are the most widely used geosynthetics, with applications across building construction, civil engineering, road construction, and landscaping.

These fabrics function as separating, filtering, or protective layers. Commonly made from polypropylene (PP) or polyester (PET), mechanically bonded non-wovens are created by compressing fine filaments, often enhanced through thermal treatment to improve strength and reduce material thickness.

Mechanically bonded non-wovens offer excellent filtering and protective properties, while thermally treated versions provide greater robustness and tensile strength. In road construction, non-wovens serve as separating and filtering layers and are selected based on "Geotextile Robustness Classes." They are also used in drainage systems and to protect sealing membranes.
