TENAX TS
Geotextiles
The special geotextiles TS 1 and TS 2 are made of polypropylene fibres of excellent quality.
TS 1 is calendered on one side whilst TS 2 is calendered on both sides. Thanks to this special finishing process they can replace the ordinary non-wovens in polyester.
As a matter of fact with a reduced weight (140-180 g/m2), they assure a better resistance to stretching (> 4,5-7,4 kN/m), CBR puncturing (> 800-1100 N), unalterability and durability.
The reduced thickness prevents the geotextiles from clogging.
| BENEFITS |
 |
Chemical inertia
|
 |
Reduced water absorption, but long term filtration |
 |
Low deformability
|
 |
They are suitable for the direct contact with all the materials even with wet concrete |
| |
|
| APPLICATIONS |
 |
Roof gardens, carriageable terraces (combined with the TENAX drainage system) |
 |
Surfaces made with interlocking blocks (between the substrate ground and the installation layer) |
 |
Drainage trenches (between the ground and the drainage gravel) |
 |
In case of a specific demand, it can be added as separation and protection element |
