Fibertex Geotextiles
Fibertex Geotextiles are manufactured from UV stabilised virgin polypropylene fibres. Their basic strength is obtained by needlepunching,
which results in strong elastic bonds between the fibres. After needle punching the product can go through specialised
infra-red and conventional heat processes. This unique combination of needling and various thermal processes enhances the
mechanical characteristics and durability of the product, making Fibertex geotextiles well suited for use in building and construction
works in separation, filtration, drainage and protection functions.
An “M” in the Fibertex product code indicates it is needle punched only and has not undergone thermal treatment.
