1. Summary about Geotextiles Used as Protection (or Cushioning) Materials
These geotextiles are used as protective layers to cushion geomembranes and other materials from puncture, abrasion, and mechanical damage. They are commonly applied in landfills, reservoirs, and lining systems.
2. Why BIS Certificate is Mandatory for Geotextiles Used as Protection Materials
BIS certification is mandatory to ensure adequate thickness, puncture resistance, and durability. Inadequate cushioning can lead to liner damage and system failure.
3. What is BIS Certified for Geotextiles Used as Protection (or Cushioning) Materials
BIS certification confirms compliance with standards related to mass per unit area, puncture resistance, tensile strength, and durability.
