Specialties

A line of specialized geotextile products protects and enhances certain properties of concrete structures or highways thereby extending their service life. Certain geotextile applications also make it possible to build environmentally friendly civil-engineering structures.

Applications :

Roads, concrete structures, sewer manholes and bedrock barriers.

Isolotex
Freezing conditions are a major cause of roadway deterioration. The innovative IsoloTex geocomposite is ideal for insulating pavement made with frost-sensitive materials, as well as for insulating conduits of any type. IsoloTex reduces the need for polystyrene panels: it delivers outstanding thermal resistance as well as the mechanical and hydraulic performance characteristic of geotextiles.

Drainaform
Drainaform is composed of a single layer of textile with two different surface finishes. One side acts as a filter to prevent the fine cement particles from washing away during drainage. The other side drains and evacuates excess water from the surface, making the finished surface stronger and more durable. The membrane leaves concrete exceptionally well protected against the elements.

TexCure
Tex-Cure was specifically developed to improve control over the curing of horizontal concrete surfaces such as bridge decks and viaducts. The results: A harder, smoother surface with improved resistance to water and road salt, which will last longer through winter’s many freeze-thaw cycles.

Tex-O-Flex
Frost-heave around manholes and drain traps often does damage to a city’s roads, leaving many conceptual designers and contractors at a loss. Tex-O-Flex 40-12 is the solution. Composed of a geotextile and a PVC membrane laminated together, this geocomposite’s smooth surface wraps around the manhole and creates two separate units, reducing surface changes.
