The use of recycled polyester fiber in the manufacture of geotextile blankets is gaining ground thanks to its excellent performance in civil engineering and environmental applications.
Nonwoven geotextiles made from polyester fiber are used for soil stabilisation, drainage and erosion control. These meshes provide the same technical performance as those made from virgin materials, making them an efficient, environmentally friendly alternative.
Recycled Polyester Staple Fiber for Geotextiles
Recycled polyester staple fiber (PSF) is an essential material in the manufacturing of geotextiles thanks to its strength, durability and sustainability. This material, produced from recycled polyester, meets the demanding technical requirements of the sector and it is key for applications in civil engineering, infrastructure and environmental projects. Geotextiles made from PSF balance functionality and respect for the environment, offering innovative solutions for any construction challenge.
Types of recycled polyester staple fiber for use in geotextiles
The most common types of PSF for geotextile manufacturing vary depending on the application and the properties required:
SOLID FIBER
Its hollow structure affords lightness and improves filtration capacity.
Used in geotextiles for drainage and erosion control systems.
Treatments
These are some of the most requested treatments for fibers in geotextile blanket applications:
HYDROPHOBIC FIBERS
• Designed to repel water, they are ideal for use in waterproofing systems.
• Ideal for projects where water management is crucial, such as drains and moisture barriers.
ANTIBACTERIAL FIBERS
• Treated to inhibit the growth of microorganisms.
• Used in projects exposed to conditions which are humid or susceptible to biological contamination.
UV-TREATED FIBERS
• Protected from the effects of solar radiation, prolonging their working life in outdoor applications.
• Perfect for geotextiles in long-term projects such as roads and slopes.
Applications of geotextiles made from polyester staple fiber
Recycled polyester staple fiber (PSF) is a vital component in various construction elements which affords innovative, efficient solutions:
