The Difference Between Non-woven Fabrics And Non-woven Geotextiles
Non-woven fabric and non-woven geotextile are two different materials. They have some differences in materials, uses and characteristics.
1. Material: Non-woven fabric is usually a kind of fabric composed of fibers combined by chemical or physical methods. Common materials include polyester,
polypropylene, polyethylene, etc. Non-woven geotextile is an inorganic textile specifically used in geotechnical engineering and is usually made of synthetic fibers
such as polypropylene or polyester.
2. Usage: Non-woven fabrics are mainly used in textiles, packaging materials, medical supplies, household products and other fields, and have functions such as
warmth retention, isolation, and filtration. Non-woven geotextiles are mainly used in civil engineering for soil reinforcement, filtration, isolation, anti-seepage, etc.
They are usually used in the construction of roads, railways, water conservancy projects, etc.
3. Characteristics: Non-woven fabrics usually have the characteristics of softness, breathability, water absorption, low tensile strength, etc., and are mainly used in the
field of consumer goods. Non-woven geotextiles have high tensile strength, water permeability, permeability resistance, corrosion resistance and other characteristics,
and are suitable for various geotechnical projects.
In general, although non-woven fabrics and non-woven geotextiles are both non-woven fabrics, their materials, uses and characteristics are different. It is necessary to
choose the appropriate material according to specific application requirements.
