Our FASTRACK range is a black woven polypropylene fabric made from slit film tapes which are then woven on Sulzer Looms. The warp tapes (machine direction) are beamed into the loom and the weft tapes (cross-machine direction) are threaded over and under alternate elements. The woven product that emerges offers very high mechanical strengths per unit weight.
This range of standard grade woven geotextiles is used primarily as a separator to prevent good quality granular fill intermixing with the underlying lower quality soil. The material offers a good mechanical resistance to damage caused during installation and / or subsequent trafficking.
The softer the underlying soil, the higher tensile strength of geotextile must be used. The geotextile then performs both as a separator and as a reinforcement.
