Difference between woven Geotextile and non-woven Geotextile

                                                                        Difference between woven Geotextile and non-woven Geotextile

Woven Geotextile and non-woven Geotextile are geosynthetics, but their manufacturing processes and materials are different.

Woven Geotextile is made of high-strength polyester or polypropylene and other synthetic material fibers through weaving. As the warp and weft yarns are closely intertwined, the woven Geotextile has good tensile strength and wear resistance, as well as good water permeability and air permeability. Woven Geotextile is often used in soil reinforcement, drainage, isolation, protection and other geotechnical projects, such as subgrade, dike, river, foundation, landfill, etc.

The non-woven Geotextile is made of polyester, polypropylene, nylon and other synthetic materials by hot air bonding, pressing and other processes using the spinning mesh technology in the textile process. It has no warp and weft yarns, but is made of a large number of fibers and paper scraps by thermal bonding. Non woven Geotextile has light weight, good expansibility and strong water permeability, but its tensile strength is relatively weak. Non woven Geotextile is often used in soil composite materials, filtration, isolation, protection and other geotechnical engineering, such as artificial infiltration pool, roof, greening engineering, road slope, etc.

To sum up, although woven Geotextile and non-woven Geotextile are geosynthetics, there are still great differences in materials and manufacturing processes. Therefore, when selecting geosynthetic materials, it is necessary to choose suitable products based on different engineering requirements and environmental conditions.
