Formatex 300 is a purpose built heavy duty non-woven needle punched permeable geotextile, to be used in conjunction with Formavoid 100 units (F1001). The unique manufacturing process delivers a high tensile strength, low elongation geotextile with good permeability and protection/puncture resistance.
​
Such characteristics are required to create a tensile layer beneath a Formavoid raft to effectively spread load between columns and permit small recoverable deflections without tearing/compromising under heavy load. Formatextile 300 also reduces the likelihood of settlement/sinking into the formation.
Characteristics
Permits low elongation to reduce tearing.
High tensile strength, preventing excessive settlement or deflection.
Effectively spreads heavy load between Formavoid columns.
High permeability and protection characteristics.
Effective separation and protection against particle migration.
Standard Geotextile
Low tensile strength causing deflection and excessive settlement
Formatex 300
Prevents any deflection and settlement due to its high tensile strength
