BITUMAT WATERPROOFING 1sO 9002 DESCRIPTION BITUMAT BITUTEX made from staple fibers that are mechanically bonded by a needle punching process to praduce a dimensionally stable network. The fibers used are 100% virgin white polyester, ultra-violet resistant with 256°C metting point. USES BITUMATBITUTEX are used in road and railway soil stabilization, waterways and seashore ‘erosion control, asphalt pavement overlay, crack relief, subsurlace drainage systems waterproofing membrane protection, landfill landscaping etc. + Separation between two dissimilar materials ‘80 that the integrity and functioning of both materials can remain intact or be improved. + Filtration by permitting water flow across the plane of the geotextile while retaining fine soil particles. + Transmission by providing water drainage and _g2s venting within the plane of the geotextilc. * Sealing when impregnated with asphalt or resin to act as a mositure barrier. + Stress Absorption in pavement overlay when regnated with asphalt, + Protection of geomembrane against puncture bby absorbing the point stresses. OUTSTANDING FEATURES 4. Hydraulic Properties include opening size, permeability and transmissivity. For optimum fitation, the geotextile is required to meet two seemingly conflicting requirements: the ‘geotextile pore spaces must be small enough to retain soil particles while also being large enough to permit relatively unimpeded water flow BITUMAT BITUTEX meet this requirement and have exceptionally high filtration properties due tothe needle punching process, which produces ‘a large number of small holes in the fabric structure. This process provides BITUMAT BITUTEX with superior filtration properties, offering a unique combination of high permeability hat allows unimpeded flow of water ‘across the fabric whilst maintaining a low opening size to retain the finest soil particles without becoming clogged over time. BITUTEX Nonwoven Geotextiles 2. Survivability Properties refer to the ability of the geotextile to withstand the installation stresses and lo perform as intended in the design. The survivability properties include puncture resistance, dynamic puncture, CBR puncture and Mullen burst strengths. ITUMAT BITUTEX, due to their high elongation property, are inherently more resistant to installation damage than stif low elongation fabrics. The high elongation property of BITUMAT BITUTEX allows the fabric to adapt to the uneven ‘contour of the matrix and absorb the installation stresses, unike stiff geotextile fabrics with low ‘elongation that tend to carry the installation loads land hence are required to meet a set of higher strength values compared to high elongation gootoxtios. The geotextile fabric, in the tensile, ‘grab and trapezoidal tear tests, is stressed in a linear direction along its plane, and hence these index test values need necessarily be considered in conjunction with elongation values. BITUMAT BITUTEX are non-biodegradable, and have excellent resistance to chemicals and salts normally prasent in the soil EXPOSURE TO SUNLIGHT: |Test Method} aan.
