ACETex® PET

High Tensile Strength at Low Elongation

ACETex® PET woven geotextiles deliver exceptionally high tensile strength, achieving up to 1400 kN/m in uniaxial direction and 600 kN/m × 600 kN/m in biaxial directions. These high strengths are mobilized at very low strains, making the fabric highly effective in minimizing deformation under load.

The woven fabric offers superior load distribution and structural reinforcement in both paved and unpaved roads. ACETex® PET is engineered to enhance the durability and longevity of roadways by providing stability and effective load transfer for both paved and unpaved roadways. In particular, it plays a critical role in stabilizing unpaved roadways, where its durability and load distribution capabilities help extend surface lifespan. This is especially valuable in areas with soft subgrades or voids, where settlement and rutting must be controlled. This high-strength woven fabric also provides excellent puncture resistance, further enhancing structural integrity and load-bearing capacity. The product is also widely used in driveways, where it stabilizes subgrades, facilitates separation, and reinforces the structure to improve durability and reduce maintenance.

Functioning as a robust stabilization fabric, ACETex® PET helps extend pavement service life, reduce maintenance cycles, and support long-term infrastructure resilience. It is designed to deliver superior load distribution, effectively dispersing loads across a broader area to reduce rutting and enhance the lifespan of roadways and other structures. ACETex® PET is a reliable solution for soil stabilization in a wide range of construction and civil engineering applications.
 

Outstanding Long-Term Design Strength (LTDS)

ACETex® PET woven geotextile is engineered for a design life of up to 120 years and maintains its mechanical integrity even in the most demanding environments. Its exceptional long-term design strength (LTDS) has been validated through extensive testing by internationally accredited laboratories.

The woven polyester yarns offer proven resistance to:
● Creep deformation under prolonged loading conditions
● Chemical attack from aggressive or contaminated soils
● Mechanical stresses during handling, placement, and compaction

ACETex® PET is also highly resistant to environmental degradation, ensuring reliable performance over time. Beyond strength, the woven geotextile also serves as a reliable geotextile filter, allowing water to pass through while preventing soil particle migration. Its design promotes efficient water flow, enhancing drainage and filtration capabilities for superior performance in construction and reinforcement projects. This dual functionality makes it ideal for integrated drainage and separation applications, ensuring long-term structural stability and performance in reinforced soil systems.

Compared to nonwoven geotextiles, ACETex® PET woven geotextile offers higher strength and superior reinforcement, making it the preferred choice for demanding engineering projects.
 

Optimized for Cost-Effective Construction

As a value-engineered solution for ground improvement, ACETex® PET woven geotextile helps reduce reliance on over-excavation, surcharging, or costly imported fills. Its lightweight nature and availability in roll widths up to 5.2 meters minimize material overlap and reduce installation time.

The product is easy to transport, handle, and deploy—especially beneficial for large-scale and remote projects. It is available by the roll or in bulk, supporting efficient jobsite logistics. Typical geotextile installation involves unrolling the fabric directly over the prepared subgrade, ensuring alignment and minimal tension. Overlaps are secured according to project specifications, and placement may be followed by filling or compacting operations. This straightforward installation method allows for rapid deployment with minimal labor and equipment.

The superior strength-to-weight ratio of ACETex® PET translates into logistical, environmental, and economic advantages throughout the construction process.
 

Performance in Real-World Site Conditions

ACETex® PET woven geotextile has proven reliable across a wide range of site conditions. From saturated clays to reclaimed land and slope stabilization, its adaptability supports consistent structural performance in diverse settings. This woven fabric is especially effective for stabilizing slopes, providing essential soil reinforcement and erosion control on challenging terrains.

The high-strength woven geotextile enhances bearing capacity, reduces differential settlement, and integrates seamlessly with geotechnical systems such as wick drains, reinforced soil facings, and pile platforms. It also provides soil confinement, supporting, and containing materials in demanding civil engineering applications.

Combined with field-proven durability and cost efficiency, ACETex® PET remains the preferred choice for engineers and contractors seeking reliable ground reinforcement, especially in projects needing additional strength or durability.
 

Key Applications of ACETex® PET Woven Geotextiles

ACETex® PET woven geotextiles are widely used across civil, transportation, and environmental engineering projects. Primary applications include:

1. Embankment support over soft ground / soft soil with or without wick drains
2. Load transfer platforms over voids or piles
3. Base reinforcement for roads, working platforms, and railways
4. Reinforced soil walls and steep slope systems
5. Void bridging and sinkhole-prone area protection
6. Landfill basal reinforcement for long-term containment stability
7. Wind farm platform support for coastal and offshore developments
8. Erosion control on slopes, embankments, and construction sites

The above applications are listed to help you quickly identify where ACETex® PET woven geotextile can be used.

In these applications, the woven geotextile serves as a tension-resisting layer that stabilizes soil structures and distributes loads effectively. It provides a reliable solution for projects requiring the mitigation of settlement, lateral spreading, or instability, while enabling engineers to meet performance criteria without excessive material usage or extensive ground modification.
