Ideal for flood protection works to control soil erosion. Typar drains and filter water from the soil.
Reduce road rutting and stabilize aggregate base on weak natural subgrade soil
3. Typar® – a unique product
DuPont™ Typar® is manufactured using a unique integrated process
in which continuous filaments of polypropylene are spun and
immediately formed into a web that is thermally and mechanically
bonded at filament crossover points
The bonding method gives a unique combination of
properties:
High initial modulus (stiffness/rigidity)
Excellent uniformity
High strength

Low elongation low rutting
Stabilization allows rutting to be reduced
vs. needle-punched materials
High initialmodulus
6. Hydrophilic properties for effective filtration
Effective filtration
by creating a natural soil filter

INTERNAL USE ONLY
Typar® SF retains its permeability under in-use
loads, contrary to needle-punched geotextile
Pre-compression of Typar® SF ensures that pore
size is not reduced or enlarged, resulting in long-
term filtration efficiency
No complete blocking or blinding due to large
number of pores and random pore-size
distribution

10. Efficient separation and stabilisation
Aggregate savings
Increased compaction
― Enhanced load-bearing
― Improved rutting resistance
Improved frost resistance
Increased bearing capacity of the soil
and reduced differential settlements

16. Practical advantages
Consistent performance
Excellent product uniformity over the entire roll
Easy to handle
Can be carried by 2 people
Simple to cut
Ease of installation
Pre-compressed Typar® SF doesn’t absorb water
so it can be installed in muddy or even winter conditions
Simplified logistics
Pre-compressed Typar® SF requires less storage space
and fewer truck movements
Large choice of roll sizes
