PW9 — Robust Rail Geotextile Blackwater Trading Estate United Kingdom Issue: 01 Date: 18.07.13 Page: 1 of 2 Nonwoven geotextile manufactured from UV stabilised, high tenacity, virgin polypropylene fibres that have been both mechanically and thermally bonded to provide high strength and excellent abrasion characteristics. Terram PW9 filter/separator is designed to maintain separation between the adjacent sand/sub-grade and ballast layers within the trackbed construction, preventing the upward movement of fine sub-grade particles and the intermixing of ballast with the sub-base. TERRAM PW9 is suitable for where sub-grade soils have sufficient strength and good filtration yet have a higher percentage of large particles (>10% by weight >14mm) present. Engineered to provide high strength and high elongation at break to ensure excellent resistance to damage during construction and under the dynamic loading applied within trackbed. Terram PW9 is manufactured to performance properties, not weight, sufficient fibre will be added to achieve these properties. Manufactured from high tenacity UV stabilised virgin polypropylene fibres which have been heavily drawn to ensure excellent long term durability in all soil types. Manufactured using a randomly orientated web to provide completely isotropic properties, ensuring that high strength is not limited to a single direction. Excellent uniformity with high permeability and low pore size for soil filtration. Test Method 6. PROPERTIES REALTING TO DURABILITY Weathering 50MJ/m2 exposure (1 month EU) Microbiological resistance Resistance to acids & alkalis Oxidation at 85 days (100 years)
