The fibers are needled to form a stable network that retains dimensional stability relative to each other. The geo textile is resistant to ultraviolet degradation and to biological and chemical environments normally found in soils.
Geo textiles conforms to the property values listed below¹. Propex performs internal Manufacturing Quality Control (MQC) tests that have been accredited by the Geosynthetic Accreditation Institute – Laboratory .
