Cost-Effective Long-Fiber Geotextile with Exceptional Tear Resistance and Easy

Product Specification

 Long-Fiber Nonwoven Geotextile: Where Economy Meets Superior Performance

Need a geotextile that combines easy installation with exceptional durability? FortiTex LF Long-Fiber Geotextile delivers all the cost and time savings you expect, plus a critical advantage: far superior tear and puncture resistance compared to standard short-fiber geotextiles of the same weight. It's the smarter, stronger choice for challenging applications.

What is Long-Fiber Nonwoven Geotextile?

FortiTex LF is manufactured from continuous filament fibers (polyester or polypropylene) that are spun, laid randomly into a web, and then needle-punched. This process creates a robust, three-dimensional structure with inherently higher tensile strength and resistance to mechanical damage than short-fiber alternatives.

Key Advantages: Strength, Savings, and Speed

1. Superior Strength & Durability

• Excellent Tear & Puncture Resistance: The continuous filament structure provides significantly higher resistance to tearing during installation and service life compared to short-fiber geotextiles of identical weight. This means less risk of on-site damage and long-term reliability.

• High Tensile Strength: Offers greater load distribution capabilities, ideal for stabilization and reinforcement applications.

• Long-Term Performance: Resists degradation from chemicals and UV exposure, ensuring lasting performance.

2. Cost-Effective Solution

• Optimized Value: While offering superior mechanical properties, it remains a highly economical material, providing outstanding value for your project.

• Reduces Long-Term Costs: Its durability minimizes the risk of failure and costly repairs, protecting your investment over time.

3. Rapid Installation & Labor Savings

• Easy to Handle: Despite its strength, it is flexible and easy to unroll, speeding up the installation process significantly.

• Cuts Labor Costs: A smaller crew can deploy it quickly, reducing man-hours and keeping your project on budget.

• Saves Time: Faster installation translates directly into shorter project timelines, getting you to the next phase sooner.

FortiTex LF vs. Short-Fiber Geotextile: A Clear Comparison

Ideal for Demanding Applications

FortiTex LF is the preferred choice for projects where strength and durability are paramount:

• Road & Railway Base Stabilization: Under high-traffic roads and railways on weak subgrades.

• Slope Reinforcement: Beneath riprap and revetments for erosion control where strong currents or waves are present.

• Landfill Construction: As a protective cushion for geomembranes from sharp waste materials.

• Coastal Protection: Under armor units in seawalls and breakwaters.

• Parking Lots & Heavy-Use Areas: Where high puncturing resistance is needed.

Simple & Fast Installation

1. Prepare the subgrade to ensure it is smooth and free of sharp debris.

2. Unroll the geotextile with the machine direction along the primary stress direction.

3. Overlap adjacent rolls typically by 300-600mm (12-24 inches), depending on the application.

4. Secure the overlaps and edges with staples or stakes.

5. Place backfill material carefully to avoid damaging the fabric.

Don't just choose a geotextile; choose the one that guarantees performance and saves you money.
