Polyfelt® Drainage composites

TenCate Polyfelt® DC is a drainage composite consisting of a geonet bonded with nonwoven geotextiles on one or on both sides of the geonet offering a combination of drainage and filtration functions. The geonet is made from high density polyethylene (HDPE) while the nonwoven filter geotextile consists of polypropylene.

TenCate Polyfelt® DC is characterised by low compressibility, and is therefore used in situations where effective drainage under high overburden pressures is required.

Benefits of TenCate Polyfelt® DC drainage composites:

Reduced space requirements and excavation costs
Controlled quality
High compression resistance
High chemical resistance
Ease of installation
Significant time and cost savings

Functionalities of Polyfelt® DC

Drainage

The major function of draining is to evacuate water or other liquids towards the structure’s outlets.

Filtration

The equilibrium soil-to-geotextile system that allows for adequate movement of a liquid across the plane of the geotextile to prevent clogging and limit soil loss over the service lifetime of the application.

Typical Applications of Polyfelt® DC

Drainage and Filtration Solutions

Our nonwoven and filtration geotextiles offers superior drainage, filtration and anti-clogging properties. Ideal for drainage systems and erosion control.
