What does geotextile 400 mean and where is it used?

Geotextile 400, in most cases, means its density, i.e. The weight of the geotextile is 400 grams per square meter. If the cloth is woven (geotextile), this parameter will mean discontinuous characteristics of 400 kN / sq. M. The most common abbreviations are the following types: geotextile IP 400, geotextile PP 400, geotextile PE 400, geotextile IGP 400.

Non-woven fabric Geotextile 400 has the following minimum characteristics:

Surface density - 400 g / m2;

Breaking load not less than - 400 N / m;

Elongation at break is 80-130%.

Of course, the characteristics of the geotextile may vary depending on the raw materials used, polypropylene or polyester, and also on the production technology, in this example, the lowest values ​​are shown for secondary raw materials.

Cloth geotextile nonwoven needle-punched density of 400 grams per meter is used in the following areas:

• In pedestrian areas;
• Parking for trucks;
• To strengthen slopes with a geogrid;
• Highway and motorway;
• Railways;
• As a structural interlayer with gabion structures;
• Access roads for heavy transport;
• Runways;
• Drains drainage;
• Drainage systems;
• Protection against weeds, etc.
