1. Different characteristics.

Non-woven fabric breathable moisture-proof, lightweight and flexible, non-combustion, easy to decompose, non-toxic and non-irritating, rich color, low cost, recyclable. For example: polypropylene (pp material) pellets as raw materials, through high temperature melting, spinning, laying nets, hot press winding continuous step method. It has good antibacterial properties and is harmless to microorganisms and insects.

2. Different uses.

Geotextiles are widely used as filter materials for soil separation in geotechnical engineering such as water conservancy, electric power, mines, roads and railways. Reservoir, mineral processing drainage materials, high-rise building foundation drainage materials; Anti-erosion materials for river DAMS and slope protection; Railway, highway, airport runway roadbed reinforcement materials, road construction reinforcement materials in swamp areas; Antifreeze insulation material;

Geotextile, also known as geotextile, is a permeable geosynthetic material made of synthetic fibers by needling or weaving. It is one of the new geosynthetic materials, and the finished product is cloth, generally 4-6 meters wide and 50-100 meters long. Geotextile fiber is divided into geotextile woven filament and geotextile.
