Geotextiles are flexible and permeable membranes made of synthetic fibers. These polymer fibers are woven or needle-punched to form a uniform fabric suitable for a very wide range of applications.\u00a0 The geotextile produced fulfills at least one of the following main functions: separation, reinforcement, protection, filtration or drainage.<\/p>\n

Innovex distributes most geotextiles approved by the local authorities<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

    The basic functions of geotextiles are: separation, filtration, drainage, reinforcement, protection and erosion control.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    \n
    Polymer fibers contain inhibitors that protect them from the harmful effects of UV rays. However, the resistance is not complete. Innovex certifies that geotextiles will retain at least 70% of their mechanical properties after 500 hours of exposure.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    \n
    Generally, a 300 mm longitudinal overlap is sufficient. 600 mm for transverse joints. You can also sew or glue the panels with a heat source, such as a propane torch or a hot air gun.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    \n
    Absolutely. If the two soils have different particle sizes, a geotextile separator will prevent contamination and will greatly extend the life of the structure.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    \n
    The important characteristics of a protective geotextile are the areal mass, the thickness and the resistance to puncturing.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    \n
    Certainly. Woven geotextiles provide separation and strengthen granular structure at low cost. A composite geotextile will also allow fine particles to be filtered, which is very useful when in contact with fine soil.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
