MIRAFI® Nonwoven Geotextiles
MIRAFI® Nonwoven geotextiles are made from high-quality polypropylene staple fibers that are needle-punched to form a dimensionally stable fiber network. Nonwovens are used for drainage applications, pavement interlayers and separation/stabilization beneath paved and unpaved roads. Our nonwoven product line is compliant with AASHTO/NTPEP standards and is available in a variety of styles to fit your specific project needs and specifications.
