Royal Ten Cate16 April 2009 –TenCate Geosynthetics has made innovative improvements to the Mirafi® S-Series nonwoven geotextiles by providing improved UV resistance and introducing a variety of new color offerings.

Mirafi® S-Series nonwoven geotextiles are used in a wide variety of applications in the environmental market. These include use in critical subsurface drainage systems, soil separation, permanent erosion control, protection of HDPE and other geomembranes in landfill construction. They provide the required puncture strength and abrasion resistance to withstand installation and application stresses to create an effective long-term solution.

Mirafi® S-Series nonwoven geotextiles are now available in a standard UV resistance of 80% strength retained after 500 hours of exposure. In addition, if additional UV resistance is required, the retained strength can be increased to 90% strength retained after 1000 hours of exposure.

TenCate is also pleased to be able to offer Mirafi® S-Series nonwoven geotextiles in orange, white and earth tone, as well as basic black. All of the colors are UV stabilized to meet or exceed geotextile testing and weathering standards. Mirafi® S-Series product description sheets and technical data sheets can be viewed and downloaded at www.mirafi.com, in the technical information section.

TenCate Geosynthetics North America develops and produces materials that increase performance, reduce costs and enable people to achieve what was once unachievable.
