Woven geosynthetics and knitted geosynthetics can be
made of yarns as follows:
A monofilament yarn
A spun yarn
A multifilament yarn
A fabricated yarn and
A slit film yarn
The nonwoven geosynthetics can be made of stable
fibers or filaments. The arrangement of fibers is random
and bonded together with the following systems:
Mechanical bonding Spray bonding
Chemical bonding Spun bonding
Heat/ Thermal bonding Stitch bonding
Resin bonding
