The difference between polyester filament geotextiles and short filament geotextiles

Release time:

2024-10-21

There are significant differences between polyester filament geotextiles and short-filament geotextiles in terms of raw materials, production processes, appearance, performance, price and application. When selecting, which type of geotextile to use should be determined based on the needs and design requirements of the specific engineering project.

There are significant differences between polyester filament geotextiles and short-filament geotextiles in many aspects. The following is a detailed comparison of the two:

1. Differences in raw materials
Polyester filament geotextile: Polyester chips (PET) are used as raw materials. These raw materials are usually in the form of white granules.
Short filament geotextiles: Polyester (PET) short fibers are used as raw materials for production. The length and fineness of these short fibers have certain specifications.
2. Differences in production processes
Polyester filament geotextile: The production process is relatively complex. First, polyester slices are melted into fiber filaments at high temperature, and then go through processes such as stretching, shrinking, and cutting. Finally, they are laid, needled, and thermally bonded to form a geotextile. cloth.
Short filament geotextile: The production process is relatively simple. The polyester short fibers are directly opened, carded, laid, and needled to make geotextile.
3. Appearance differences
Polyester filament geotextile: The surface fibers are longer and visible to the naked eye, and the product color is white.
Short filament geotextile: The surface fibers are shorter and the color is slightly darker than that of filament geotextile, but different colors can also be produced according to customer needs.
4. Performance differences
Polyester filament geotextile: It has higher acid and alkali resistance, breaking strength, bursting strength and other indicators, as well as a lower friction coefficient. These properties enable filament geotextiles to have better reinforcement, protection and filtration effects in engineering.
Short-filament geotextiles: Although their performance is slightly inferior to filament geotextiles, they still have good functions of reinforcement, protection, isolation, drainage, and filtration.
5. Price and Application Differences
Price: Due to differences in raw materials and production processes, polyester filament geotextiles of the same weight are usually more expensive than short-filament geotextiles.
Application: Both are widely used in highways and railways, civil engineering, water conservancy projects, environmental protection projects and other fields. However, in specific applications, filament geotextiles are more suitable for projects with higher performance requirements due to their excellent performance, such as reinforcing dams and preventing foundation settlement, while short-filament geotextiles are more suitable for general engineering projects. Such as highway pavement maintenance, sports hall construction, etc.
