Difference between non woven fabric and geotextile
At the beginning of COVID-19 in 2020, non-woven fabrics became the focus of many people's attention due to the sharp increase in the demand for mask. In the search process of nonwoven fabric, we also found a product called non-woven geotextile. The two names are slightly the same, many people will have questions: are geotextiles and non-woven fabrics the same? In fact, non-woven geotextiles and non-woven fabrics are not the same thing.
1. Different in nature
Geotextile is a kind of permeable geosynthetics made of synthetic fiber by needling or knitting. Geotextile is one of the new geosynthetics. The finished product is cloth like, with a width of 4-6m and a length of 50-100m. Geotextiles are divided into woven geotextiles and non-woven filament geotextiles.
Non woven fabric is composed of directional or random fibers. It is called cloth because of its appearance and some properties.
2.Different characteristics
Geotextile has high strength. Due to the use of plastic fiber, it can maintain sufficient strength and elongation in dry and wet conditions. Corrosion resistance, in different pH of soil and water can be long-term corrosion resistance. Good water permeability, there are gaps between the fibers, so it has good water permeability. It has good anti microbial property and is not damaged to microorganisms and insects.
Non woven fabrics are moisture-proof, breathable, flexible, light, non combustion supporting, easy to decompose, non-toxic and non irritating, rich in color, low price, recyclable and so on. For example, polypropylene (PP material) pellets are used as raw materials, which are produced by continuous one-step process of high-temperature melting, spinning, laying, hot pressing and coiling.
3.Different application
Non woven fabric is suitable for agricultural film, shoemaking, tanning, mattress, quilt, decoration, chemical industry, printing, automobile, building materials, furniture and other industries, as well as clothing lining, medical disposable surgical clothes, masks, hats, bed sheets, hotel disposable tablecloth, beauty, sauna and even today's fashionable gift bags, boutique bags, shopping bags, advertising bags, etc.
Geotextile is widely used in water conservancy, electric power, mine, highway and railway engineering: filter material for soil separation; drainage material for reservoir and mine mineral processing; drainage material for high-rise building foundation; anti scouring material for river embankment and slope protection; reinforcement material for railway, highway and airport road foundation; reinforcement material for road construction in swamp area; frost proof and antifreeze insulation material Crack prevention materials for asphalt pavement.
