Lightweight 3.5 oz. Polypropylene Filter Fabric

Non Woven Geotextile Fabric for Sale

Non woven geotextile fabric is used for filtration, stabilization, erosion control, and drainage. Polypropylene non woven filter fabrics are more cost effective and last much longer than organic fabrics, such as coir and straw. The 3.5 oz non woven geotextile fabric is a lightweight non woven needle-punched geotextile that offers similar flow rates to temporary erosion control fabrics but has a grab tensile strength of 90 pounds. For even stronger control, non woven geotextile fabrics come in sizes up to 16 oz. with tensile strengths up to 425 lbs.

3.5 oz Non Woven Geotextile Fabric Applications

Non woven geotextile filter fabric is needle-punched and engineered for strength and permeability. It also has a long field-use life, as non woven needle punched filter fabrics are also highly resistant to UV rays, rot, insects, and degradation. 3.5 oz polypropylene geo filter fabric is ideal for projects requiring soil and aggregate separation, filtration or drainage, such as:


  • Separation
  • Soil Stabilization
  • Underlayment
  • Rip Rap Projects
  • Cushioning
  • Pipe and Drain Wrapping
  • Erosion Control
  • Bank Reinforcement
  • Landscaping
  • Road Repair

For projects requiring higher strength non woven geotextile fabrics, we have a wide selection of options that feature increased weight, higher grab tensile strength, and more rigid fabric structures.

3.5 oz Non Woven Geotextile Fabric Installation

These are general installation instructions for non woven geotextile filter fabrics.


  • 1. Prepare the installation area by removing any objects or debris that could puncture the polypropylene non woven filter fabric. This includes stumps, rocks, or other sharp objects. For roadway projects, vegetation and roots (as well as topsoil) may also need to be removed.
  • 2. Smooth and grade the installation area. If replacing the topsoil with a higher grade soil, do so in this step and grade the area afterward.
  • 3. If using for erosion control on a slope, anchor the fabric end in a trench across the top of the slope. (Please contact us for specific trenching instructions.)
  • 4. Roll the fabric out across the installation area, according to the specific project plans. Overlap fabric rolls by 12 to 18" to avoid gaps.
  • 5. Secure the non woven geotextile fabric using staples or stakes, pulling it as tightly as possible as you secure it to the ground. The fabric should be secured along the edges and where the rolls overlap.
  • 6. Cover the non woven needle punched geotextile fabric with aggregate or other backfill per the project requirements. Aggregate lifts should be at least 6" thick (or more for softer subgrades). Compact the aggregate.

Installation requirements and methods for non woven geotextile fabric may vary depending on project specifications. Please contact us to confirm the needs for your project's installation plan.
