TenCate Mirafi® PP Woven geotextiles
TenCate Mirafi® PP series are woven fabrics, made of fibrillated polypropylene yarns, developed and manufactured mainly for the usage as separation and reinforcement geosynthetics in road constructions. They are also available with woven-in loops and additives for durability in under water applications.
Benefits of Mirafi® PP:
- High modulus fabrics, high tensile strength at low elongation
- Separation, filtration and reinforcement in one product to install
- Can be prefabricated to meet exact dimensions
- Excellent chemical resistance, even in alkalis soils
Functionalities of Mirafi® PP
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.
Reinforcement
The synergistic improvement of a total system’s strength created with a reinforcing geosynthetic (that is good in tension) into a soil and/or aggregate system (that is good in compression but poor in tension) to ensure the stability of structures.
Separation
The placement of a flexible, porous geotextile between dissimilar materials to prevent them from mixing so that the integrity and intended functions of both materials remain intact or are improved.
Typical Applications of Mirafi® PP
Pond Capping
TenCate woven geotextiles and fascine mattress are used to provide access on soft, saturated ponds to begin closure with a compacted clay layer or geomembrane.
