Depotex® is used as a separation and protection layer as well as a filter in drainage and gas-venting layers. When necessary, a woven geotextile can be integrated into the matrix of Depotex® to distribute dynamic loads and thus augment the protective abilities of Depotex®. And, since soils invariably differ from site to site, Naue Fasertechnik can help you select the optimal geotextile for its filtration and protection properties.

Depotex® nonwoven products are manufactured in their entirety by Naue Fasertechnik. Every step of the process is monitored for adherence to the highest standards. The raw HDPE material used for Depotex® currently meets the highest chemical resistance tests performed. Furthermore, independent testing confirms the excellent UV stability of the Depotex® products. Various Depotex® products are independently certified by Germany’s Federal Institute for Material Testing and Research (BAM) for landfill use.

Depotex® replaces thick sand cushion layers. Depotex® consumes less space than conventional construction methods and therefore increases the containment volume and tipping fee revenues. As a filter, Depotex® protects drainage layers from clogging and ensures their longevity.
