 16 April 2009 -TenCate™ Geosynthetics has made innovative improvements
to the Mirafi® S-Series nonwoven geotextiles by providing improved UV resistance and
introducing a variety of new color offerings.
Mirafi® S-Series nonwoven geotextiles are used in a wide variety of applications in the
environmental market. These include use in critical subsurface drainage systems, soil
separation, permanent erosion control, protection of HDPE and other geomembranes in
landfill construction. They provide the required puncture strength and abrasion resistance
to withstand installation and application stresses to create an effective long-term solution.
Mirafi® S-Series nonwoven geotextiles are now available in a standard UV resistance of
80% strength retained after 500 hours of exposure. In addition, if additional UV
resistance is required, the retained strength can be increased to 90% strength retained
after 1000 hours of exposure.
TenCate is also pleased to be able to offer Mirafi® S-Series nonwoven geotextiles in orange, white and earth tone, as well as basic black. All of the colors are UV stabilized to meet or exceed geotextile testing and weathering standards.
Mirafi® S-Series product description sheets and technical data sheets can be viewed and
downloaded at www.mirafi.com, in the technical information section.
TenCate™ Geosynthetics North America develops and produces materials that increase performance, reduce costs and enable people to achieve what was once unachievable.
