Typar / Tekton	Biobarrier
Typar/Tekton* - long lasting durable non-woven geotextile fabrics. High Quality PP continuous filament heat bonded material that separates, reinforces and filters soil while letting water pass through. (pdf) Applications: Soil separation Drainage Erosion control Landfill Earth reinforcement Filtration Structure drainage Root barriers Weed control fabrics Railways Advantages: Wide range of products Worldwide manufacture and distribution Superior durability Excellent mechanical and hydraulic properties Proven in the industry for more than 30 years	Biobarrier Root Control System prevents tree roots from growing in a zone around the fabric. Placed between a tree root and the area to be protected, such as a sidewalk, road, building, golf course green or anywhere that roots can cause damage, Biobarrier creates a barrier that causes roots to grow in another direction. Unlike solid barriers, it does not need to protrude above ground where it could be a tripping hazard and costly liability. Because it is a flexible geotextile fabric, Biobarrier easily fits the contours of any job site and is simple to install. Case Histories Technical Specifications
