Description
Non-woven geotextile made from 100% polypropylene fibres.
Material Use:
SOPREMAPOOL TEX 350 PP is a high-performance geotextile made from 100% non-woven polypropylene fibers. It is specifically designed for use as a protective and separating layer between the pool shell and SOPREMAPOOL PVC waterproofing membranes. Its primary function is to act as a fungicidal barrier, preventing the growth of micro-organisms that can cause staining and degradation of the synthetic membrane.
System Components:
SOPREMAPOOL TEX 350 PP is used in conjunction with SOPREMAPOOL PVC membranes as part of a complete waterproofing and lining system for swimming pools. The geotextile is adhered to the substrate using ALSAN BOND POOL SP spray adhesive. Aluminum tape is used at overlaps and membrane weld zones to protect the geotextile during membrane welding.
Applications:
This material is ideal for use in swimming pool construction and renovation projects where a separation layer is required between the pool structure and the waterproofing membrane. It is particularly useful on substrates that are incompatible with PVC membranes, such as polystyrene formwork, polyester shells, resin coatings, or painted surfaces.
Application Details:
- Surface Preparation: The substrate must be clean, dry, and free of debris or loose particles before installation.
- Installation Method: The geotextile is glued to both vertical and horizontal surfaces using ALSAN BOND POOL SP spray adhesive. Overlaps between sheets should be secured with aluminum tape. Additionally, aluminum tape must be applied at any location where SOPREMAPOOL PVC membrane overlaps will be welded, to prevent heat damage to the geotextile.
- Dimensions: Each roll measures 2 x 25 meters (6.5 x 82 feet), with a thickness of 3.5 mm (138 mils) and a weight of 350 g/m² (7.16 lb/100 ft²).
- Mechanical Properties: The material offers excellent tensile strength (>11/17 kN/m or >63/97 lbf/in in MD/XD directions), high elongation at break (>110%), and strong puncture resistance (>2 kN or 450 lbf).
Special Notes:
- SOPREMAPOOL TEX 350 PP is not a waterproofing membrane itself but a protective and separation layer used in pool lining systems.
- It must be stored in its original, weatherproof packaging until use to maintain its integrity.
- The material is not UV stable and should be covered by the SOPREMAPOOL PVC membrane during installation.
- It is essential to use aluminum tape at all membrane weld zones to prevent burning of the geotextile during hot air welding of the PVC membrane.
- This product is part of a system and should always be used in conjunction with SOPREMAPOOL PVC membranes and ALSAN BOND POOL SP adhesive for optimal performance.
This material is a critical component in ensuring the longevity and aesthetic quality of PVC-lined swimming pools, especially when installed over non-compatible or sensitive substrates.
