Construction Materials

Geotextile fabric with a 150 gsm (grams per square meter) weight is a lightweight to medium-weight material, non-woven polypropylene or polyester, used primarily for filtration, separation, and light-duty reinforcement in civil engineering and landscaping projects.

Key Properties

Permeability: It is a permeable fabric that allows water to pass through freely while preventing the migration of fine soil particles, which is essential for effective drainage systems.

Material: Usually made from high-density polypropylene (PP) or polyester (PET) virgin fibers, often needle-punched to create a porous, felt-like texture.

Strength: Offers moderate tensile and puncture strength, suitable for applications that require a balance of load-bearing capacity and water flow.

Durability: It is designed to be rot-proof, UV-stabilized, and resistant to chemicals and puncturing for long-lasting outdoor use.

Common Applications

• Road Construction: Used as a separation layer between the subgrade and base layers in roads, driveways, and pavements to prevent mixing of materials and enhance stability.
• Drainage Systems: Ideal for wrapping French drains and soakaways, as it filters soil particles and prevents clogging of pipes and channels.
• Erosion Control: Applied to slopes, riverbanks, and embankments to stabilize soil and protect against erosion.
• Foundation Protection: Provides a protective and filtration layer around building foundations and behind retaining walls to manage water flow and prevent soil intrusion.
