Non Woven Geotextile

Superior needle-punch fabric

Our geotextile membrane, called NP300, serves four core purposes: protection, separation, filtration and drainage.

Protection

NP300 is a strong and flexible needle-punch geotextile that protects a wide range of adjacent geosynthetics. With excellent flexibility, durability and thickness, needle-punch fabric offers an ideal puncture-resistant protective cushion when installed below and/or above an impermeable membrane, thus preventing the risk of damage to the liner.

Separation

NP300 reinforces poor existing sub-soil by preventing it from mixing with costly imported material that is laid above. This geotextile layer helps to limit uneven settlement, reducing rutting and/or deformation, thus increasing the load-bearing capability and stability of foundations or traffic load-bearing layers.

Filtration

The membrane retains particles whilst allowing the free movement of water, thereby keeping separate two opposing layers during severe hydraulic activity. Avoiding the migration of material between layers vastly improves the surface load-bearing capacity and maintains the free passage of water maintaining the sub-soil stability.

Drainage

NP300 is used to maintain continuous free drainage of water away from construction sites with minimum loss of pressure. The structure of the needle punch is such as to allow excess water to pass through the body of the material without blocking the fabric, facilitating drainage away from the area.

NP300 Advantages

▸ Easy to install
▸ Extremely long-life
▸ Flexible and lightweight
▸ High strength and elongation
▸ Superior wearing
▸ Abrasion-resistant
▸ Excellent hydraulic capability

NP300 also possess excellent chemical resistance to a wide range of compounds normally found in the ground including acids, alkalis, chlorides, sulphates and leachate.

Applications for NP300 include:

▹ Reservoirs
▹ Coastal revetments
▹ Lakes
▹ Construction sites
▹ Ponds
▹ Tree root protection
▹ Slopes
▹ Drainage trenches
