Enka-Tex N nonwoven geotextiles lend valuable qualities to numerous groundwork construction applications. In rail track maintenance for example, Enka-Tex N minimizes potential track failure which can be caused by pumping (ie the upward movement of fines from the underlying formation into the ballast).
The hydraulic properties of Enka-Tex N nonwovens stimulate the build-up of a natural soil filter in the adjoining soil to ensure long term filtration stability.
The superior products within the range are the perfect choice for the protection of impermeable membranes in landfill and reservoir construction, as well as for coastal protection from erosion below rock and concrete defense's.

Enkatex N nonwovens are a range of polypropylene needle punched and thermally bonded nonwoven staple fibre geotextiles.
CBR puncture strengths from 1 to 12 kN
• Available in weights of 100 to 1200 g/m2 (higher with some special types)
• White non wovens available in rolls of 5.25 meters or other widths to order
• Black nonwovens available in widths of 5,0 or 5,5 meters
• Uniform tensile strengths in all directions throughout the length and width of every roll up to 60 kN per meter width (higher with some special types)
Some special types of Enka-Tex N are available, such as a product up to 12 mm thick with excellent puncture and abrasion resistance, which is used as a thick cushioning layer in drainage and protection applications
