• Description

Geotextile is a flexible rolled material that can be used for fire protection. Similar to gypsum fiber boards the material absorbs enormous amounts of energy, when exposed to heat beyond it´s activation temperature. The effect is based on the evaporation of hydrated minerals. Geotextile is comprised of metal-anhydrates and absorbs up to 3x more energy than gypsum boards. Effective textile fire barriers (EI-qualification) – thinner and more flexible than conventional insulation – are achieved by combining glass fiber insulation or intumescent materials with layers of Geotextile .

• Type of geotextile

(Non-woven)

1. Non woven geosynthetics can be manufactured from either short staple fiber or continuous filament yarn.
2. The fibers can be bonded together by adopting thermal, chemical or mechanical techniques or a combination of techniques.
3. The type of fiber (staple or continuous) used has very little effect on the properties of the non- woven geo synthetics.
4. Non-woven geotextiles are manufactured through a process of mechanical interlocking or chemical or thermal bonding of fibers/filaments.
5. Thermally bonded nonwovens contain wide range of opening sizes and a typical thickness of about 0.5-1mm.
6. Chemically bonded non-wovens are comparatively thick usually in the order of 3 mm.
7. Hand mechanically bonded non-wovens have a typical thickness in the range of 2-5 mm.
