Product Introduction
Basic attributes
6 oz Geotextile Fabric (1 ounce ≈ 28.35g, 6 ounces is about 170g) is usually made from high molecular weight polymer fibers such as polyester and polypropylene, through non-woven or woven processes such as needle punching and spunbonding. The appearance is in the form of a cloth, and the thickness generally varies depending on the process. The 6-ounce geotextile made by non-woven technology has a relatively uniform thickness and a certain degree of flexibility, which can adapt well to different construction terrains and can bend and fit with the terrain.
Core functions
Filtering:With the suitable pore structure formed between fibers, it can effectively intercept soil particles in water flow, prevent fine soil particles from losing with water, and ensure smooth passage of water and air, maintaining the permeability stability of soil. It is commonly used as a filtering layer in roadbed, dam and other engineering projects.
Drainage: It has a certain degree of permeability, which can guide and discharge excess water in the soil, reduce pore water pressure in the soil, avoid settlement, leakage and other problems caused by water accumulation in engineering structures, and provide guarantee for the stability of engineering structures.
Isolation: It can separate materials such as soil, sand and gravel with different particle sizes, prevent mixing of different materials, maintain the integrity and structural stability of materials, and play an important role in the isolation between road base and roadbed, sand and gravel and soil.
Main features
Moderate performance: It has certain tensile strength and tear strength, which can meet the basic mechanical performance requirements of general engineering for geotextiles. At the same time, it has good acid and alkali resistance and corrosion resistance, and can maintain stable performance under common soil and environmental conditions.
Convenient construction: The texture is relatively lightweight, with a moderate weight per roll, making it easy to transport and handle. The cutting and laying process is simple, without the need for complex construction equipment and technology, which can improve construction efficiency and shorten the construction period.
Economical and practical: With a wide range of raw material sources, mature production processes, and reasonable product prices, it is suitable for small and medium-sized projects or scenarios with low requirements for geotextile performance, and can reduce project costs while ensuring project quality.
Widely applicable: It can be used in various scenarios such as roadbed treatment of highways and railways, dam protection of water conservancy projects, and surrounding treatment of drainage pipelines in municipal engineering, meeting basic functional requirements such as filtration, drainage, and isolation.

Product Application
Highway and Railway Engineering
In the roadbed treatment of highways and railways, 6-ounce geotextile is often laid between the roadbed soil layer and the base layer. It can play an isolation role, separating the roadbed soil from the sand and gravel materials of the base layer, preventing them from mixing with each other, and ensuring the stability of the base structure. At the same time, its filtering performance can prevent roadbed soil particles from infiltrating into the base layer with moisture, avoiding blockage of the base layer. The drainage function can timely discharge the accumulated water in the roadbed, reduce roadbed settlement, and provide a stable foundation for roads and railway tracks.
Water conservancy engineering
Six ounces of geotextile will also be used in the embankments, channels, and other parts of hydraulic engineering. In dam construction, it can be used as a filtering layer, laid between the dam fill and the filter material, to intercept soil particles in the dam body, prevent soil loss, and allow the seepage of the dam body to be smoothly discharged, ensuring the safety of the dam. For channels, laying 6 ounces of geotextile can reduce the erosion of water flow on the channel slope, play a certain protective role, and also reduce the soil moisture content around the channel through drainage function, extending the service life of the channel.
Municipal Engineering
The use of 6-ounce geotextile is suitable for scenarios such as the treatment of drainage pipes around municipal engineering, the laying of pedestrian walkways and small squares. Around the drainage pipeline, it can wrap around the pipeline, filter the moisture in the surrounding soil, prevent soil from entering the pipeline and causing blockage, while helping to drain the accumulated water around the pipeline and protect the pipeline structure. At the base level of sidewalks and small squares, their isolation and filtering effects can maintain the integrity of the base material, reduce ground subsidence and cracking.
Agricultural and Horticultural Engineering
In the fields of agriculture and horticulture, 6 ounces of geotextile can be used for ground paving in greenhouses, as well as for drainage systems in orchards and vegetable fields. Laying on the ground of the greenhouse, it can isolate the soil from the planting substrate, prevent bacteria and weeds from entering the substrate, promote the discharge of excess water, and maintain the appropriate humidity of the substrate. In the drainage system of orchards and vegetable fields, it can filter water flow, prevent drainage pipes from being blocked by soil, improve drainage efficiency, and promote crop growth.
Small scale construction projects
Some small-scale construction projects, such as courtyard hardening and small parking lot construction, also use 6-ounce geotextile. Before hardening the courtyard, laying geotextile can isolate the foundation soil from the sand and gravel cushion layer, avoiding ground cracking caused by soil disturbance; In the construction of small parking lots, it can enhance the bearing capacity of the foundation, reduce ground settlement, and help drain rainwater to prevent water accumulation from affecting the use of the parking lot.
6 oz Geotextile Fabric has a wide and important range of applications in various fields such as highways, railways, water conservancy, municipal engineering, agriculture, horticulture, and small buildings due to its moderate performance and practical functions. It effectively ensures the structural stability of various projects and extends their service life through isolation, filtration, drainage, and other functions. At the same time, it is convenient, economical, and practical to construct, making it an ideal material to meet the needs of small and medium-sized projects. It plays a positive role in promoting the smooth development of projects in various fields.
