- Multitrack SNW17 exceeds the Tensile Strength and CBR Puncture Resistance of the competitor product making it stronger and more robust.
- Both products are manufactured using a non-woven process so have good elongation characteristics.
- The non-woven production process gives both products excellent hydraulic properties.
- The greater mass and thickness of Multitrack SNW17 means that the geotextile is capable of absorbing hydrocarbons from leaks and spills and provides an environment for a microbial biomass to develop to allow oil digestion to occur.
- Retention testing shows that the Multitrack SNW17 swells and absorbs more oil than the competitor product.
- When under load, Multitrack SNW17 retains more than double the amount of oil of the competitor product, thereby allowing the microbial biomass more potential to digest a greater quantity of hydrocarbons.
** A load of 120kPa approximately replicates the load imposed by vehicular traffic on an installed pavement
