It is great for filtering and commonly used in french drain systems.   ## 28 oz. Nonwoven Geotextile Applications (indepth explanation below) - Sediment Control. - Drainage. - Heavy Erosion Control. - Separation. - Filtration Systems. - Stabilization. - Asphalt Overlay. ![](https://www.globalplasticsheeting.com/hubfs/image-png-Jun-30-2022-10-59-53-55-PM.png)   ### How 28 oz geotextiles are used in Construction, Landscaping, Civil Engineering and Agricultural Applications   Nonwoven geotextiles are a unique type of fabric made from polypropylene and polyester fibers that are bonded together without the use of spinning or weaving. This type of fabric is used for a variety of purposes, ranging from construction and landscaping to civil engineering and agricultural applications. In particular, 28 ounce nonwoven geotextiles have become increasingly popular due to their versatility and durability.   **In construction**, 28 ounce nonwoven geotextiles are often used as a separator on roadways, railroads and other transportation applications to prevent asphalt and aggregate from mixing together. The geotextile fabric also helps to reduce rutting and provides a stable and uniform base for the asphalt. In addition, 28 ounce nonwoven geotextiles are often used to reinforce retaining walls and reduce the occurrence of soil erosion. The fabric will help to maintain the wall’s stability by preventing soil particles from shifting and sliding.   ** In landscaping**, 28 ounce nonwoven geotextiles are often used to separate different soil types. By layering the fabric between soil layers, it can prevent soil particles from mixing together and ensure that the topsoil remains nutrient-rich and aerated. In addition, the fabric can be used to stabilize pathways, reduce weed growth and protect plants from root damage.   ** In civil engineering **applications, 28 ounce nonwoven geotextiles are often used to reinforce embankments, provide drainage and protect the integrity of rivers and lakes. The fabric helps to keep sediments from migrating and settling in rivers, lakes and other bodies of water. In addition, 28 ounce nonwoven geotextiles are often used to line landfills and provide additional protection against leachate entering the groundwater.   ** In agricultural applications,** 28 ounce nonwoven geotextiles are often used to improve water efficiency and reduce the incidence of water loss and runoff. The fabric can also be used to protect plants from excessive heat and cold by providing a barrier between the soil and the environment. In addition, the fabric can be used to reduce soil compaction and promote better root development.   Overall, 28 ounce nonwoven geotextiles are a versatile and durable fabric with a variety of uses. From construction and landscaping to civil engineering and agricultural applications, the fabric offers a variety of benefits that make it an essential component of any project.  [![Resource page for Plastic Sheeting, Greenhouse Plastic, Fire Retardant Products, HDPE- LLDPE, Tapes 760 597 9298 Global plastic sheeting](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/32796/940f93a5-d754-4ad8-a7c1-f3c10def1138.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/32796/940f93a5-d754-4ad8-a7c1-f3c10def1138)     [![](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/32796/interactive-161513923687.png) ](https://www.globalplasticsheeting.com/hs/cta/wi/redirect?encryptedPayload=AVxigLLA8hwfupuYX9cim68UuTs3DJjFVvEU0%2Bk7VV1iEfDyXL2%2FprpMy7xiATCAy0h3Jk%2FgwxXKONKCzbjyXl0ZNZ6edOki4cQixcvQzEgrUL%2FTCZmD2lpzNgPG17qrUe1i%2F6%2F99yEOpl5NUgpQxbeY%2BO8%2B&webInteractiveContentId=161513923687&portalId=32796&hsLang=en-us) [![New call-to-action](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/32796/328fed49-04e8-46bb-be0f-2f19e6a44e12.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/32796/328fed49-04e8-46bb-be0f-2f19e6a44e12) [![Search for Fire Retardant films, tapes, greenhouse plastic](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/32796/5b9abe45-9e95-46a7-a36c-422a095c4829.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/32796/5b9abe45-9e95-46a7-a36c-422a095c4829)       ### Questions?
