TenCate Geolon® HMi-5 is composed of polypropylene yarns with the highest possible stiffness modulus. Produced with a special weave construction, this leads to high functional tensile strengths with an extremely low elongation (2 to 5%). Tensile strength at more than 5% elongation is irrelevant, because deformation must be prevented. The product is equally strong in both directions.
The TenCate Geolon® HMi-5 is easy to recognize on the construction site by the color pattern across the entire fabric and the woven product name on the side.
The most important properties of TenCate Geolon® HMi-5 are:
- Textile with high modulus material and high tensile strength at low elongation
- Separation, filtration and reinforcement in one product
- Excellent chemical resistance, even with alkaline soils
Functionalities of TenCate Geolon® HMi-5
Reinforcement
The major function of Reinforcement is to guarantee the stability of structures.
Separation
The major function of Separation is to prevent two different granular materials from mixing under mechanical stress such as traffic. The characteristics of the input layer are therefore maintained.
Filtration
The major function of filtration is to prevent the destabilisation of the soil by internal flows.
