Geosynthetics cover products with at least one component manufactured of synthetic
or natural polymer, namely in a form of band, belt or a three-dimensional structure. They are used in contact
with soil or other materials in civil engineering earthworks and building constructions.
Geosynthetic fabrics can be made of various polymers; of polyester (PET), polyvinylalcohol (PVA), polypropylene
(PP), etc.
The benefit of PET consists in low elongation and high strength, PVA is endowed with high
strength, extremely low elongation and high chemical resistance and PP is highly chemically resistant
with acceptable elongation.
