With the possible exception of geotextiles and housewrap, however, there have been virtually no new markets estabUshed as a result of the special characteristics of spunbonded fabrics. Growth has come about in an evolutionary fashion where spunbonded fabrics were substituted for woven fabrics. 

Woven geotextiles. A woven fabric consists of two sets of orthogonally interlaced filaments or staple-fibre yams. The weave design or pattern is determined by the manner in which yams or filaments are interlaced. Filaments or yams placed in the longitudinal and transverse directions are known as warp and weft, respectively. Monofilament and slit woven geotextiles are anticipated to be thinner in comparison to multifilament, spun, and fibrillated woven geotextiles. 

Knitted geotextiles. These are produced by interlocking a series of loops of filaments or yams to form a planar stmcture. The loops in the knitted stmcture are interlocked in different ways, similar to weave designs in woven fabrics. 

Woven geotextiles are produced from synthetic-fibre yarns, mainly PET or PP, and natural fibre yams, largely jute or coir, such as the Sulzer projectile loom P7150, used to produce woven fabric in widths of 190-540 cm. ... 

Slit-film also finds its way into many other applications. These include twine, woven fabrics for feed and fertilizer sacks, sand bags and bulk container bags, tarpaulins, mats, screens for erosion prevention, and geotextiles to stabilize soil beds. Fibrillated slit-film is used as a face yarn in outdoor carpets and mats.

Industrial applications of polyolefin fibers include woven and nonwoven geotextiles, agriculatural fabrics, construction sheeting, automobile fabrics, filtration media, rope/twine, woven bags, narrow-woven web and tapes, tents, and tarpaulins. Geosynthetic fabrics will continue to be a growing market for polypropylene nonwovens.

The systematic application of geotextiles began around the late 1950s, largely with the development of synthetic fibres. Initially, woven fabrics... 

Type of Reinforcements. Conventional roofing felts are made of organic fibers and are impregnated with asphalt. They act as binders and as reinforcement in the waterproofing component in the BUR. In recent years, non-woven fabrics have made significant inroads in roofing in addition to many other fields, such as the geotextile and medical fields. 

However, this review will be somewhat different from the others in that geotextile developments in Europe (initially with nonwoven fabrics) will be presented first, with developments in America (initially with woven fabrics) following. The interchange between Europe and America up until 1977 will then be described along with developments in several other countries. Almost immediately after the first international... 

As we described in the introduction to this section, weaving consists of intertwining two yams at right angles to create a fabric. Woven fabrics can be made from many different sorts of yams or filaments. The following hst shows the types of yams or filaments generally used to manufacture geotextiles ... 

Natural geotextiles are generally manufactured in the form of woven fabrics and nonwoven matting structures or as a combination of both woven and nonwoven structures. A general sequence of processes for producing natural geotextiles is shown...
