FibertexTTMM

Manufactured from

polypropylene staple fibres,

Fibertex geotextiles are

resistant to all naturally

occurring soil alkalis and acids

and fungal attack. As well as

this Fibertex geotextiles are

UV stabilised and will not rot.

Nonwoven Polypropylene Geotextile

Needle punched nonwoven fabrics are

characterised by high porosity, elongation and

energy absorption properties which makes

them ideal for a wide range of applications

including subsurface drainage, filtration,

separation, and protection of liners.

Thermal bonding treatment imparts additional

strength to the fabric which is particularly

beneficial to ground reinforcement and

separation applications.

Using the latest heat bonding processes and

intensive needling ensures that the fibres are

fixed vertically resulting in an incredibly strong

3-dimensional geotextile. No hazardous

chemicals are used during production and

when incinerated forms carbon dioxide and

water – both completely harmless.

Within the range there are two distinct styles of

geotextile: pure needle punched and needle

punched with thermal bonding.

Reliable and easy to use, Fibertex provides you with these superior properties:

• Uniformity

• High strength and elongation

• Superior wearing and abrasion

resistant properties

• Unique hydraulic capability

• No delamination

Fibertex is a range of high performance nonwoven geotextilesspecified by civil engineers fora wide variety of applications:

• Separation

• Protection

• Filtration

• Drainage

• Reinforcement

• Stress relieving

Protection

The advantages of FibertexUsing Fibertex between different construction layers avoids the

mixing of these layers giving increased bearing capacity as well

as significant savings on time and materials.

What’s more the high water flow and excellent filter properties

combined with its exceptional mechanical properties, ensures

that fine grained particles are retained at the same time as

allowing the free movement of water. In this way stability is

improved and the life of the construction is considerably

prolonged.

Use Fibertex for impressive resultson the following applications:SeparationStrong and flexible, Fibertex prevents the sub-base mixing with

the sub-grade maintaining the integrity of the construction. This

increases the load-bearing capability and provides long term

stability of the foundation layers.

ProtectionThe excellent puncture resistance and thickness of Fibertex

geotextiles makes them ideal for protecting impermeable

membranes. Fibertex protection geotextiles are laid below

and/or above the membrane, forming a protective layer and

preventing puncture of the liner.

FiltrationThe pore structure of Fibertex geotextiles is designed to retain

particles whilst allowing the free movement of water making it

possible to separate two layers during intense hydraulic activity.

This avoids the migration of layers, which could reduce load

bearing capacity, and maintains water flow with minimum

loss of pressure.

DrainageFibertex enables excess water to be drained away from the

construction – not by passing through the fabric but by flowing

in the plane of the fabric away from the construction. This

ensures reliable ongoing drainage of fluids with minimum

loss of pressure.

ReinforcementThe mechanical properties of Fibertex and Fibertex HS, make

them ideal for reinforcing slopes and other soil structures.

Reinforcing with the appropriate Fibertex product prevents

vertical soil walls and steep slopes from collapsing, increasing

the lifespan of these types of construction.

Stress RelievingFibertex offers a flexible, precompressed, nonwoven solution

designed especially for stress relieving. Paving fabric is ideal for

both new road construction and road maintenance as it absorbs

differential movements in the road layers, preventing reflective

cracking. The bitumen saturated paving fabric also forms a

waterproof interlayer, protecting the subsoil from water

intrusion and thereby avoiding the loss of bearing capacity.

Quality assurance and serviceQuality assurance and service

Geosynthetics Ltd is committed to offering the bestsolutions for soil stabilisation, erosion control, drainage and environmental protection problems.

Well trained staff are always available to discuss which materials are best suited to any particular application.

Certified qualityFibertex geotextiles are manufactured under a quality management system which is certified in accordance with the most comprehensive standards set by the International Organisation for Standardisation; namely ISO 9001. This has been implemented throughout the business to give customers greaterreliability and improved quality.

Fibertex were also among the first in the nonwoven industry to obtain the ISO 14001environmental management system certificate demonstrates their ongoingcommitment to the environment.

AccreditationFibertex geotextiles are CE marked in accordance with The Construction ProductsDirective (CPD 89/106/EEC). CE marking demonstrates conformity to TheConstruction Products Directive (CPD 89/106/EEC) and indicates the stringenttesting and certification of Factory Production Control (FPC) that Fibertex geotextileshave gone through to meet the highest European standards.

Our Service CommitmentWe’re committed to offering you the most comprehensive range of Geosyntheticproducts from stock with next day delivery as standard. We’re also constantly seekingto improve our service levels to you and proud of our record so far.
