TenCate Mirafi Geotextiles S-Series
TenCate Mirafi S-Series Nonwoven Polypropylene Filter Fabric Geotextiles
Mirafi® S-Series nonwovens are used in critical subsurface drainage systems, soil separation, permanent erosion control, HDPE and other geomembranes in landfill construction. These geotextiles provide the required puncture strength and abrasion resistance to withstand installation and application stresses to create an effective long-term solution. Other applications for Mirafi® S-Series nonwovens in landfill applications include leachate collection/ removal systems and for gas collection and venting systems.
Nonwoven geotextiles play a critical role in the collection of liquids in waste containment systems. The nonwoven geotextiles prevent clogging of the collection pipes and drainage aggregates. The successful removal of these liquids is critical to the performance of the landfill site. Mirafi® S-Series geotextiles assist in maintaining an outlet for gases to escape from below the liner systems. Gases may also travel within the nonwoven fabrics laterally until it reaches a vent. For these collection systems to be effective, they must have a properly designed protective filter. Mirafi® S-Series Nonwoven Geotextiles allow designers flexibility in finding an economic source of a specific aggregate gradation and assuring that the inplace aggregate provides effective filter performance.
Highlights
-
- Construction - Mirafi® S-Series polypropylene nonwoven geotextiles easily conform to the ground or trench surface for troublefree installation
- Strength - Mirafi® S-Series geotextiles withstand installation stresses with high puncture and tear resistance

-
- Separation - The placement of a flexible, porous geotextile between dissimilar materials so that the integrity and intended functions of both materials remain intact or are improved
- Filtration - The equilibrium soil-to-geotextile system that allows for adequate movement of a liquid across the plane of the geotextile with limited soil loss over the service lifetime of the application
- Protection - The action of protecting someone or something, or the state of being protected
- Drainage - The equilibrium soil-to-geotextile system that allows for adequate movement of a liquid in the plane of the geotextile over the service lifetime of the application
