Different Types of Geotextile

If we talk about Geotextile, then one cannot ignore the fact that Rajdhani Syntex is the best Geobag manufacturer in India. They are famous when it comes to the manufacturing of geotextile and Geobags as they have years of experience in this field. However, let's continue to discuss different types of geotextiles. One can classify geotextile in two ways, and they are according to the manufacture and time of use.

Types of Geotextile Based on Manufacture

One can manufacture by weaving or by knitting it or by using the nonwoven technologies. One can classify geotextile in the following ways:

✔     Woven Geotextiles

With the interlacement of the two sets of yarns that too at the right angle through the knitting process, then woven geotextiles are produced. These textiles have higher modulus and strength in the weft and warp direction, and at rupture, they have low elongation.

✔     Non-woven Geotextiles

These geotextiles are made from continuous filaments or the staple fibers and are thicker than the woven geotextile. These can be produced in various bonding techniques like needle punching, chemical and thermal bonding.

✔     Knitted Geotextiles

When the interloping of one or more yarn is done in the knitting process, then knitted geotextile is produced. These have high extensibility and low strength as compared to woven geotextiles.

✔     Stitch Bonded Geotextile

When the interlocking of yarns or fibers or both is done either through sewing or stitching is called as the stitch-bonded geotextiles. You can produce the heavyweight and strong geotextile rapidly through this bonding process. Manufactured tubular geotextiles can be in cylindrical and tubular fashion without any longitudinal seam.

✔     Geonets

The open grid-like material that is formed by two sets of the parallel, coarse and extruded polymeric strands that are intersecting at an acute angle is geonets. This network will form a sheet with the in-plane porosity so that it can be used for carrying the relatively large fluid or gas flow.

✔     Geogrids

The material which has open grid-like material is called geogrids, and they are mainly used in the reinforcement of the soil.

✔     Geomembranes

The continuous flexible sheets that are manufactured from synthetic materials are geomembranes. These are impermeable and can be used as the liner for the gas and fluid containment as well as vapor barriers.

✔     Geocomposites

These are made from the combination of two or more geosynthetic types such as geotextile-geogrid; geotextile-geonet; or geonet-geomembrane.

✔     GCLs

These are Geocomposites which are prefabricated along with the bentonite clay layer. It is typically incorporated between the top, and bottom layer of the geotextile or the geotextile bentonite is bonded to the geomembrane.

✔     Geocells

These are thick 3-D networks that are constructed from the strips of the polymeric sheet, and then for forming the interconnected cell, the strips are joined together. These are then filled with concrete or soil.

✔     Geopipes

These are the perforated or the solid-wall polymeric pipes which are used for drainage of gas and liquids.

✔     Geofoam

For creating the geofoam slabs or the blocks, expansion of polystyrene foam is used in the low-density network.

Types of Geotextile Based on Time of Use

✔     1^st Generation

Earlier geotextiles were manufactured for the carpet, and industrial sacking bit later they were used for manufacturing geo technical purposes and were called as the 1^st generation geotextile.

✔     2^nd Generation

These are the geotextiles that were manufactured for specific geo-technical purposes but without adopting modern manufacturing technology.

✔     3^rd Generation

These are the geotextiles that were manufactured, produced and designed for meeting the end-use of the client and were actual geo-textile.

You may be thinking from where can you get all these types of geotextile that too at affordable rates then the answer is Rajdhani Syntex. They are the best geotextile and Geobag Supplier in India which can help you in meeting your requirement of the geotextiles and other geo fabrics.
