Typar – The ideal geotextile

Typar is a long lasting, durable nonwoven geotextile fabric for paved and unpaved roads and surfaces, drainage, waste handling systems, erosion control and landfills. Manufactured from high quality polypropylene, Typar is a continuous filament, heat bonded fabric with superior uniformity that separates, reinforces and filters soil particles while letting water pass freely through.

No matter what your needs, Typar geotextiles offer an easy to install, economical and proven alternative to more expensive and less effective construction materials and methods.

Typar is a high quality geotextile that offers a number of benefits including:

  • Lower construction cost from reduced aggregate base thickness
  • Reduction in construction time from reliable product quality and ease of installation
  • Reduction in ongoing maintenance costs through Typar’s proven performance, toughness and durability over time
Typar is available in a variety of widths and lengths and weights ranging from 1.5 oz/yd² to 8 oz/yd². The requirements of AASHTO M288-00 are met by the following styles:

Class 3 – Typar 3401
Class 2 – Typar 3501
Class 1 – Typar 3631

Note: Typar is manufactured from the highest quality polypropylene. During the manufacturing process a surface tension is formed on the product which, prior to contact with soil, will cause water to run off the fabric giving the appearance of water resistance. This is a temporary phenomenon which disappears when the fabric comes into contact with soil, and normal hydraulic properties will take effect.
