How to choose geotextiles for landfill sites? You should know that geotextiles are divided into two types: long filament geotextiles and short filament geotextiles. Although both are geotextile materials, there are differences in many aspects. The main differences between long filament geotextiles and short filament geotextiles are:

1. Differences in raw materials for production

Long filament geotextile is produced using high-quality polyethylene terephthalate slicing source, with granular raw materials. Short fiber geotextile is made of PET polyester short fiber, and the raw material is synthetic fiber

2. Differences in production processes

The production process of long filament geotextile is to melt the polymer chips, stretch and shrink them, cut them into short fibers, and then machine weave and process them. The production process of short silk ten piece fabric includes opening, combing, disorderly, laying mesh, and needle punching to make the fabric shape.

3. Difference in performance

The fracture strength and other parameters of long filament geotextile are higher than those of short filament geotextile. In addition, long filament geotextile has higher aging resistance and UV resistance than short filament geotextile. So the use of long filament geotextiles in landfills is longer than that of short filament geotextiles
