What is NonWoven Geotextiles Fabric

What is Nonwoven Geotextile

Nonwoven geotextile is a three-dimensional mesh structural engineering material formed from polypropylene or polyester fibers through mechanical consolidation processes such as needle-punching or spunbonding. Its core functions include separation, filtration, drainage, and supplementary reinforcement. In engineering applications, it effectively prevents intermingling of different material layers while permitting water passage and retaining soil particles, thereby establishing a stable filtration system. It serves as a key material for enhancing engineering stability. Primary performance indicators include mass per unit area, tensile strength, and equivalent opening size.

Nonwoven Geotextile Prices

The price of woven geotextile is not fixed and is highly influenced by raw material costs (PP or PET), specifications, order volume, and market supply and demand.

Current market prices cover a wide range; for conventional specifications (e.g., with a mass per unit area of 100-200 g/m² and a tensile strength of 8-20 kN/m), the price generally falls between 2 and 6 RMB per square meter.

Products with higher strength, wider widths, or special features (such as UV resistance) command a higher price. Bulk orders typically qualify for volume-based discounts.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the different types of nonwoven geotextiles?

Nonwoven geotextiles are mainly divided into three types:

1、Short-fiber needle-punched geotextiles are formed by needle-punching fiber webs, featuring a loose structure with excellent in-plane drainage and filtration properties, making them suitable for roadbed drainage and landfills. 

2、Filament spunbond needle-punched geotextiles, consolidated by needle-punching continuous filaments, exhibit higher tensile strength, tear resistance, and uniformity, making them ideal for critical projects such as high-speed railways and ports. 

3、Heat-bonded geotextiles, formed by thermally melting fibers, are relatively stiff and thin with high mechanical strength but poor water permeability, primarily used for separation or as a base material for composites. Selection should be based on primary functional requirements such as drainage, filtration, and reinforcement.

Yes, nonwoven geotextiles (specifically engineered ones) are typically porous and permeable materials. This characteristic is fundamental to their critical role in geotechnical engineering.

Their permeability is primarily demonstrated in two technical aspects:

  1. Vertical Permeability

    • Mechanism: Their three-dimensional, randomly distributed fiber structure creates numerous interconnected and tortuous pores.

    • Function: This allows liquids (primarily water) to pass vertically through their plane. This property is the basis for their filtration function, enabling water flow while effectively retaining soil particles to prevent clogging.

  2. Planar Permeability (or In-Plane Drainage Capacity)

    • Mechanism: Their relatively thick structure (especially needle-punched nonwovens) forms continuous water conveyance channels within their own plane.

    • Function: This allows them to collect and channel water flow within their plane, effectively dissipating pore water pressure and serving a drainage function.

Summary:

The permeability of nonwoven geotextiles is not simple “leakage” but rather a controlled permeability that works in synergy with the soil system. Their permeability can be precisely quantified and designed using key parameters such as the vertical permeability coefficient and Equivalent Opening Size (EOS). This ensures water can pass through without excessive loss of fine particles from the protected soil mass.

Therefore, being permeable is the physical foundation that enables nonwoven geotextiles to perform their two core functions: filtration and drainage.
