Candidate for inert special structures
The new brief identifies geotextiles as a major application. UHMWPE chemical inertness and dielectric properties make it a candidate, but the fabric and its properties have not yet been selected.
Geotextiles and road construction
A durable inert layer in soil
Geotextile is a new major direction: separation and reinforcement layers in roadbeds, drainage structures and special dielectric liners. The exact fibre and fabric grade must be selected for each project.
01 — ROLE IN THE PRODUCT
How each material works
The material is selected by its function in the structure. The same product may require different fibres depending on the environment and load.
02 — APPLICATIONS
Where the yarn is used
Roadbed
Layer separation, load distribution and protection against mixing of materials.
Base reinforcement
Improved layer stability with appropriate calculations and tests on the finished fabric.
Drainage systems
Filtering and separating solutions with the required water permeability.
Special liners
Dielectric and insulating constructions after confirmation of material parameters.
03 — VISUAL GUIDE
Yarn inside the product
The illustrations show where the high-performance material sits and what it does. These are application diagrams, not photographs of serial products.

Supply forms and series
A starting point for a technical inquiry, not a ready-made pilot specification.
- Form not selected yet: yarn, staple or finished fabric
- Finished and semi-finished solutions can be requested through partners
- Areal density, strength, elongation and water permeability are required
- UV, creep and installation damage resistance are project-specific
What the material offers
- UHMWPE is inert to many environments
- Low fibre weight
- Dielectric properties
- Finished fabric can be considered through partners
Mandatory checks
- No specific geotextile grade is confirmed in the materials
- Fibre properties do not equal finished geotextile properties
- Water permeability, UV and installation damage must be checked
- The fabric grade and construction must be qualified for each project
05 — SELECTION AND PILOT
Four inputs for a technical inquiry
The more precise the inputs, the fewer unnecessary samples and the faster the comparison with the incumbent material.
StructureRoad, drainage, reinforcement or special liner
GeotextileWeb type, areal density, structure and width
PropertiesStrength, elongation, filtration, UV and creep
PilotInstallation, damage, load and comparison with the current material
Questions for the product manufacturer
Which fabric function is needed: separation, reinforcement, filtration or insulation?
Record the answer in the technical specification together with the control material, pilot volume, test method and acceptance criteria.
What loads and soil properties does the project have?
Record the answer in the technical specification together with the control material, pilot volume, test method and acceptance criteria.
What water permeability and areal density are required?
Record the answer in the technical specification together with the control material, pilot volume, test method and acceptance criteria.
Can a finished fabric or construction sample be obtained through a partner?
Record the answer in the technical specification together with the control material, pilot volume, test method and acceptance criteria.
