MATERIAL SPECIFICATIONS
AMES Geo-Filter™ Tube is a superior quality, non-woven geo-textile produced by needle-punching together 100% polypropylene staple fibers in a random network to form a high strength dimensionally stable fabric. The polypropylene fibers are specially formulated to resist ultraviolet light deterioration, and are inert to commonly encountered soil chemicals. The fabric will not rot or mildew, is none bio-degradable and is resistant to damage from rodents and insects. Polypropylene is stable within a ph range of 2 to 13.
