TenCate

TenCate is a multinational company that combines textile technology with related chemical processes. We develop and produce specialist materials with specific properties. Protective materials for fire-fighting clothing, and strong, lightweight materials in aircraft are good examples of these, as are materials that block UV radiation for applications like tentcloth and awnings.

Geotextiles are special fabrics made for use in 'geological' situations. They are rot-proof and permeable to water. Geotextiles can be woven or non-woven, heavy duty or light duty, black, white or coloured.

Their civil engineering uses of geotextiles include:

• a geotextile filter-fabric, in road construction
• geotextiles prevent drainage systems from clogging with fine particles
• erosion control with geotextiles
• geotextiles are used as soil reinforcement agents and as a filter medium in road construction.
