The difference between geomembrane and geotextile

The geomembrane uses a plastic film as an impermeable substrate and its synthetic and non-woven geotextile materials. Geotextiles are also called geotextiles. It is a permeable geosynthetic material made of man-made fibers through needle punching or weaving.

The difference between geomembrane and geotextile is as follows:

1. Water permeability

Geomembrane is impermeable, and geotextile is permeable.

2. Materials and uses

Geotextiles are made of non-woven fabrics and are mainly used to reinforce foundations. The geomembrane is made of high-density polyethylene and is mainly used for seepage prevention.

3. Performance

Geotextiles include geotextiles and non-woven geotextiles. It has excellent filtering, drainage, isolation, reinforcement, anti-leakage and protective functions. It has light weight, high tensile strength, good permeability, high temperature resistance and frost resistance. , Resistance to aging and corrosion.

Geomembrane uses plastic film as an impermeable substrate. It is a polymer chemical flexible material with small specific gravity, strong elongation, strong adaptability to deformation, corrosion resistance, low temperature resistance and good frost resistance.

Both geotextile and geomembrane can be used alone or in combination to achieve their respective strengths.
