Propex products provide superior performance
even under the most demanding construction conditions. Propex fabrics
are made
of polypropylene with
ultraviolet stabilizers to resist degradation caused by exposure to sunlight.
Polypropylene is one of the most inert textile polymers available and
highly resistant to commonly encountered soil chemicals, mildew, and
bacteria.
Product Overview
Erosion Control Blankets
Landlok® ECBs are
ideal for the short-term challenge of establishing vegetation in low
to moderate
erosion
applications.
Unlike loose fiber mulches, Landlok gives your project dimensional stability,
locking seed and soil in place and protecting seedlings to promote faster
vegetation growth and a stronger root system. ECBs are easy to install
and are designed to degrade over specific periods of time depending on
application requirements and project location. They are comprised of
either straw and/or coconut fibers or polypropylene yarns and fibers,
and they are reinforced on one or both sides by a polypropylene netting.
Turf Reinforcement Mats
Landlok® TRMs are perfect for moderate-flow
storm water channels, banks and steep slopes where both immediate and
long-term erosion control is needed. Featuring our patented X3® fiber
technology, TRMs trap more seed, soil and water in place than traditional
hard armor products, for faster and fuller vegetation. X3 also provides
enhanced reinforcement, giving your vegetation twice the erosion protection.
All of our TRMs are made of 100% synthetic, ultraviolet (UV)-stabilized
components and are completely non-degradable.
High
Performance Turf Reinforcement Mats
Pyramat® HPTRMs are equipped to handle
the most demanding erosion control applications. Patented Pyramat three-dimensional
construction makes HPTRMs ten times stronger than traditional TRMs. The
3D matrix of polypropylene yarns features X3® fiber technology which
locks in seed and soil for superior permanent erosion control. Pyramat’s
outstanding UV resistance makes it the preferred TRM in arid and semi-arid
environments or other applications where full vegetation is not expected.
Nonwoven Geotextiles
Geotex® nonwoven geotextiles are made from
the highest quality polypropylene fibers and are needle-punched to form
a dimensionally stable fiber network. Nonwoven geotextiles can be used
for a variety of purposes, including subsurface drainage, separation,
stabilization, erosion control and cushioning applications. Whether used
in roadways, railroads or landfills, Geotex nonwoven geotextiles can
add years to the life of your project.
Woven
Geotextiles
Manufactured with high tensile strength and
low elongations, Geotex® woven geotextiles have superior capacity
for filtration, load distribution, reducing rutting and extending the
life of paved and unpaved roadways. Made from individually woven, ultraviolet
(UV) resistant polypropylene fibers, Geotex woven geotextiles provide
dimensional stability and they are resistant to UV degradation and to
biological and chemical environments normally found in soils. When you’re
facing separation, filtration, erosion protection and containment challenges,
no better line of fabrics can match Geotex.
Soil
Reinforcement Geotextiles
Woven with high-tenacity polyester and/or ultraviolet
(UV) resistant polypropylene yarns, Geotex® soil reinforcement geotextiles
are designed to hold up to the challenges of structural reinforcement
in civil and environmental applications. Geotex’s unique strength
makes it ideal for reinforcing embankments over any slope, as well as
retaining walls, lagoon closures and landfill lining systems. Whatever
the soil reinforcement application, Geotex is the more effective, more
economical solution.
Paving Products
Propex paving products are designed to extend
the life of all paved areas—including highways, parking areas and
airport pavements. All of our easy-to-install pavement products - Petromat®,
Petrotac®, Pro-Guard® and PetroGrid® guard against moisture
build-up while reinforcing the pavement and lowering the product life
cycle costs by improving performance and reducing maintenance.
Silt Fence Fabrics
When attached to posts and properly trenched
into the soil, Geotex® silt fence fabrics will contain overland flow
and screen soil particles from storm water runoff, allowing for efficient
drainage and preventing environmental damage to adjacent areas. Geotex’s
superior ultraviolet (UV) resistance and tensile strength make sure that
our silt fence fabrics continuously perform throughout the entire life
of the project.
