Woven High-Performance Geotextiles

Carthage FX^®-MF High-Performance Series of Woven Polypropylene Geotextiles

FUNCTIONS

Our High-Performance Series of Woven Polypropylene Geotextiles are most frequently specified to perform at least one of the following functions:

• Reinforcement
• Separation
• Filtration
• Confinement

SERIES DESCRIPTION

The Carthage Mills' FX^®–MF High-Performance Series of woven polypropylene geotextiles were developed to deliver the higher strengths and long-term performance that cannot be achieved by typical woven slit-film geotextiles.

The FX^®–MF High-Performance Series of woven polypropylene geotextiles are produced of 100% high-tenacity polypropylene yarns. Utilizing a variety of unique weave patterns, they are designed for separation, stabilization and reinforcement, while still providing excellent filtration and drainage in a wide range of applications from moderate to severe site conditions.

Whether the emphasis is on filtration, high tensile properties, and/or long-term performance, these versatile and durable geotextiles can provide quick and easy solutions to other costly alternatives.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Carthage Mills' FX^® High-Performance Series of woven polypropylene geotextiles are designed to provide cost-saving solutions in a wide range of applications and varying site conditions, making them one of the most complete and versatile lines of geosynthetics in the industry.

• SEPARATION and FILTRATION: Unique weave patterns prevent dissimilar materials from intermixing while providing free flowing drainage assuring long-term functionality of materials.
• STABILIZATION and REINFORCEMENT: High tensile modulus at low strains and excellent soil inter-action delivers immediate support in moderate to severe conditions.
• DURABILITY: Superior resistance to installation damage assures long-term performance.
• HIGH SEAM STRENGTHS: Achieve the high seam strengths that are essential in all closure and confinement applications; and allows for seaming to run perpendicular to the centerline in highway construction.
• COST SAVINGS: When low-cost and high performance is combined, savings in structural materials and labor costs can be as much as 35-40%.

APPLICATIONS

The combination of strengths, durability and filtration/flow characteristics make the Carthage FX^®–MF Series High-Performance Series of woven geotextiles uniquely versatile in their ability to deliver in:

• Base Course Reinforcement for highways, railways, roads, and parking lots
• Reinforcement for Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) structures or walls
• Embankments and Dikes on soft soils and foundations
• Voids Bridging in landfills (liner support), highways and runways
• Reinforcement in steepened slopes
• Capping/Closures in landfills and other hazardous waste sites
• Erosion Control; shoreline protection under large riprap
• Containment
