Typar Introduces C-Class Series of Geotextiles

C-Class construction fabrics are engineered to provide exceptional strength, uniformity and durability

Typar Geosynthetics, a supplier of high-performance geotextiles, announced the latest addition to its 40 years of Typar geotextile innovation: Typar C-Class construction fabrics. Engineered for use in AASHTO M-288 applications and to provide exceptional strength, uniformity and durability characteristics, Typar C-Class provides the ideal solution for stabilization, separation, drainage and erosion control projects.

Not only have the C-Class construction fabrics been value engineered for AASHTO-related applications, Typar is one of the only manufacturers to have undergone the AASHTO-NTPEP manufacturing audit and received certification.

“Typar is one of the original manufacturers of geotextiles,” says Keith Misukanis, sales director, Americas. “We’re in our fifth decade of production at our plant in Tennessee, so we have a long history of product innovation, manufacturing quality control and project experience to draw from. The C-Class series and AASHTO certification continue that history of expertise and market leadership.”

The long-term performance and exceptional strength and durability of Typar nonwoven geotextiles are rooted in Typar's construction. The continuous filament, heat-bonded manufacturing process produces a nonwoven that possesses uniform strength in the material’s longitudinal and transverse directions. The pre-stressed fibers mean Typar reaches its performance strength sooner than thicker or equal weight needlepunched products.

With Typar's thinner profile but higher strength and greater tear resistance properties, users get more per roll (up to 45% more product per shipment), better nonwoven performance, project economics are improved and installations excel.
