StrataTex HSR™ - High Strength Woven Polyester Geotextile

StrataTex HSR™ is built from a high-grade polyester yarn chosen for its exceptional tenacity and minimal creep properties. Unlike conventional textiles, its unique linear knitted structure allows it to reach full tensile strength efficiently, even at low elongation. This results in superior stress-strain values and long-term stability for critical infrastructure. With ultimate tensile strengths reaching up to 54,816 lb/ft for uniaxial designs, StrataTex HSR™ can significantly reduce material wastage, thanks to its availability in wider widths (up to 5.7m). Furthermore, its high permeability characteristic ensures excellent water flow, a crucial factor in many ground engineering applications.

The StrataTex HSR™ system leverages a unique linear knitted construction to achieve optimum soil interaction and load distribution. It is fabricated from high-tenacity polyester (PET) yarn, which is specifically chosen for its molecular structure that exhibits very low creep properties. This crucial feature ensures that the initial design geometry and performance are maintained throughout the service life of the structure, providing long-term structural integrity. The knitted stable network geometry facilitates effective strain transfer at the soil/reinforcement interface, crucial for mitigating shear failure.
