Needle punched polypropylene geotextile is made from PP fibres that are tangled together by a needle-punching process. Needle-punched non-woven geotextiles have excellent water flow rates and are used for filtration of soil fines for drainage applications including trench drains, as a wrapping for perforated pipe, for erosion protection, and combined with three-dimensional structures to create prefabricated drains, or as the high-density polyethylene layer to optimize the distribution of pressure, improve soil characteristics of underground walls and foundations.
Case Study
- Location – Thailand
- Product – 500g Polypropylene needle punched geotextile
- Application – Landfill Project
Issue
Thailand is located in the south-central part of the Indo-China Peninsula, bordering Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Malaysia, the Gulf of Thailand (Pacific Ocean) to the southeast, the Andaman Sea (Indian Ocean) to the southwest, Myanmar to the west and northwest, Laos to the northeast, and Cambodia to the southeast. As a neighbor, the territory extends south along the Kra Isthmus to the Malay Peninsula, connecting with Malaysia, and its narrow part lies between the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. With the rapid economic growth, Thailand is also facing more and more serious garbage disposal problems, with more than 50% of its garbage piled in the open air. At present, landfill and incineration, including plastic waste, are the main waste disposal methods in Thailand.
Solution
The landfill is an important municipal infrastructure for the city, and it is also an indispensable last link in the chain of “reduction, recycling, and harmlessness” of garbage. It is necessary to achieve sustainable landfill through technological upgrading, implement refined and digital management, improve the operation and use efficiency of landfills, and truly realize the value of landfills. For polypropylene geotextile products that are resistant to acids and alkalis and are effective in environmental protection, needle punched polypropylene geotextiles are undoubtedly the most suitable product. The customer found BPM through the company website to understand the detailed information of the polyester geotextile, and sent the specific index requirements by email.
The Thai customer sent the following index requirements for the geotextile:
- Non-woven geotextile made of polypropylene. If you do not use geotextiles produced from used materials (recycled materials).
- The non-woven polypropylene geotextile is manufactured by an ISO 9001 certified manufacturer.
- The non-woven geotextile used by the agent must have a mark showing the name, product type and production number.
- The non-woven fabric must have a certain size, which can catch the damage in the process of environmental protection and self-regeneration.
Benefits
-
High modulus, high elongation, high strength
Polypropylene filament geotextiles utilize anti-sticking needle-punch tech for a strong three-dimensional structure. They excel in stretch, tear, and puncture resistance. The tensile strength of polypropylene filament geotextiles surpasses polyester geotextiles of the same weight.
-
Acid and alkali resistance
PH2-13 range performs well with cement, fly ash, and lime. It endures long-term exposure without hydrolysis effects. Suitable for landfills, solid waste, and saline soil applications. It maintains stability in complex environments.
-
Three-dimensional structure, anti-blocking
The monofilament fineness range is 4D-11D, which is 2-3 times the fineness of polyester geotextile fibers. It can form a stable and uniform three-dimensional pore structure.
-
Excellent weather resistance
The National Frozen Soil Experiment certifies that polypropylene filament geotextiles withstand extreme cold and hot-humid conditions. These geotextiles show minimal property changes in such environments. High-cold frozen soil and high-temperature, high-humidity conditions have little impact on them.
-
Environmental protection
The polypropylene material does not contain 23 banned shareable aromatic amines such as aniline which has a harmful effect on the environment. However, polyester materials contain benzene rings, which pollute the environment after hydrolysis.
Summary
Polypropylene geotextile excels in landfill projects due to its strength and anti-blocking features. Filament geotextiles offer superior burst and tensile strength compared to staple fiber types. They prevent clogging effectively, crucial for smooth landfill operations.
