Geocomposite drains

Table 3.5. Transition temperatures (in °C) of thermoplastic materials used for geosynthetics (geomembranes, nonwoven geotextiles, geocomposite drains, geogrids etc.). In addition to polyolefins PE and PP, polyester PET and polyamides PA 6.6 and PA 6 and polyvinyl chloride PVC are also used, the letter, however, only to a small extent...
