Geotex C – Polypropylene Non-woven Geotextile
Geotex C
Geotex C is a black, non-woven geotextile manufactured by needle-punching and heat-treating high-strength, 100% pure polypropylene fibers. Thanks to its durable structure, it helps protect geomembranes against puncture and other mechanical impacts while serving as a separation layer between different soil and fill layers.
Its needle-punched fiber structure contributes to filtration and drainage performance by facilitating controlled water flow while restricting the migration of fine soil particles. It can be used for protection, separation, filtration, and drainage applications in stream rehabilitation, flood protection, highway drainage, landfills, and mine tailings sites.
Geotex C, which can be manufactured with varying technical specifications to meet project requirements, adapts to diverse terrain and climatic conditions. Thanks to its high elongation, tensile strength, and puncture resistance, it offers a long-lasting, reliable, and cost-effective geotextile solution for infrastructure, hydraulic structures, and soil applications.
Geotex C – Functions of Polypropylene Non-woven Geotextile
Geotex C forms a protective layer against mechanical impact when used over geomembranes in landfills and mine tailings sites. In stream rehabilitation and flood protection projects, it supports separation and drainage functions beneath lining materials. In highway drainage systems, it wraps around drainage gravel, allowing water to pass while filtering out fine soil particles, thereby contributing to the system's long-term performance.
Drainage
Thanks to its non-woven and permeable structure, it supports the efficient operation of drainage systems by facilitating the controlled removal of water.
Filtration
It helps prevent clogging of the drainage layer by restricting the transport of fine soil particles while allowing water to pass through.
Reinforcement
It contributes to reducing the risk of puncture, tearing, and other mechanical damage by forming a protective layer over the geomembranes.
Separation
It preserves the integrity of the application layers by restricting the intermixing of different soil, fill, and surfacing layers.
High Performance at Low Cost
Geotex C is a non-woven polypropylene geotextile that offers high tensile and puncture strength despite its low unit weight. It contributes to the efficient use of application layers by supporting protection, filtration, drainage, and separation functions. With proper design and application, it helps reduce construction and maintenance costs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Geotex C?
Geotex C is a non-woven geotextile manufactured from polypropylene fibers. It is used in geotechnical applications requiring protection, filtration, drainage, and separation.
In which areas is Geotex C used?
It can be used in waste disposal sites, mining areas, highway drainage lines, stream improvement, flood protection, and geomembrane protection applications.
How do Geotex C geomembranes provide protection?
It helps reduce the risk of puncture, tearing, and mechanical damage by forming a protective layer between the geomembrane and the soil or fill material.
How does Geotex C perform the filtration function?
It allows water to pass through in a controlled manner while restricting the transport of fine soil particles. Thus, it helps prevent the clogging of drainage systems.
Can Geotex C be used for separation purposes?
Yes. It helps preserve the integrity of the construction layers by limiting the intermixing of different soil, fill, and surfacing layers.
What should be considered when selecting Geotex C?
The product's unit weight, thickness, tensile and puncture strength, water permeability, and project conditions must be evaluated. The appropriate product type should be determined based on technical specifications and project requirements.
