Nonwoven geotextiles are designed to filter soil particles from drainage systems, and stabilize roadways to increase the performance life of these structures. With the world's largest nonwoven facility and ISO-9002. certification, Propex is dedicated to the production of high quality, needle- punched, staple fiber geotextiles.
