TerraTex® HPG-16 is a polypropylene woven fabric. This engineered geotextile is stabilized to resist degradation due to ultraviolet exposure. It is resistant to commonly encountered soil chemicals, mildew and insects, and is non-biodegradable. Polypropylene is stable within a pH range of 2 to 13, making it one of the most stable polymers available for geotextiles today. TerraTex® HPG-16 is manufactured to meet the following minimum average roll values:
