CETCO Geotextiles
Product Description
CETCO nonwoven geotextiles are produced in state of the art production facilities – needlepunch manufactured with chemically resistant polypropylene staple fibers to produce premium grade products. These products are available in a range of weights from four to sixteen ounces per square yard.
Applications
CETCO nonwoven geotextiles can be used in a wide range of applications for sediment remediation projects. Nonwoven geotextiles can provide puncture protection for geomembranes or geotextile tubes, can be used to separate dissimilar materials used in drainage layers and provide additional reinforcement to soft unstable soils.

|
Protection
|
Puncture, burst, mass
|
Heavy weight nonwovens provide the highest level of puncture resistance.
|
|
Separation of dissimilar materials
|
Tensile, elongation, tear, AOS, permittivity, permeability
|
Light to medium weight materials generally provide adequate separation characteristics.
|
|
Filtration
|
AOS, permittivity, mass, tensile, permeability
|
Lightweight geotextiles generally provide adequate filtration characteristics and minimize clogging.
|
|
|
Mass, transmissivity (water flow rate), permeability
|
Light to medium weight geotextiles generally provide adequate drainage properties.
|
|
|
Grab, elongation, tear, mass
|
Most nonwovens will add strength and improve soil stability. High performance products may be required for severe applications.
