Woven geotextile fabric derived from beta-nucleated, polypropylene yarn or monofilament

摘要

A woven geotextile fabric derived from beta-nucleated polyolefin yarn or monofilament, the method of manufacture of fabric, and the use of such fabric are disclosed. The yarn is made by compounding one or more polyolefins and a beta-nucleator reagent wherein the compounded mixture is extruded then drawn to at least 9 times its original length. The yarn or monofilament is woven into synthetic fabric useful for roadway construction, embankment stabilization, and mechanically stabilized earth.
