Propex Fabrics Inc. Offers a variety of Silt Fence Fabrics to accommodate a wide range of requirements.
|
Propex Silt Fence Fabrics are designed specifically to reduce soil sediment run off from, or into, protected areas. They function in a manner similar to a sedimentation basin, in which water is allowed to filter through the fabric, while suspended soil particles settle to the ground. This restricts the loss of soil from the site, while permitting the water to drain efficiently. These fabrics are made of polypropylene with ultraviolet stabilizers to resist degradation caused by exposure to sunlight. Polypropylene is one of the most inert textile polymers available and is highly resistant to commonly encountered soil chemicals, mildew and bacteria. |
- Propex 2127 - This is Propex's most economical fencing fabric, designed to meet the need of the open-specification market for woven unsupported silt fence.
- Propex 2130 - Offers the highest soil filtering efficiency and the lowest flow rate to meet ASSHTO M-288, ASTM D 5141 and VTM 51 silt fence requirements for unsupported silt fence.
- Propex 2134 - A black monofilament woven fabric with a very high flow rate. Propex 2134 exceeds AASHTO M-288 silt fence requirements.
- Propex 2135 - An orange monofilament woven fabric with a very high flow rate. Propex 2135 exceeds AASHTO M-288 silt fence requirements.
- Propex 1198 - High flow rate, very high strength, long lasting, with enhanced resistance to sunlight exposure. Propex 1198 exceeds AASHTO M-288 for unsupported silt fence fabrics.
- Propex 4545 - Propex's nonwoven geotextile used when a supported nonwoven silt fence is required. Propex 4545 meets ASSHTO M-288 requirements.

Easy Installation:
To install silt fence, simply drive stakes and attach propex silt fence fabric with a stapler. An alternate method of installation is the use of a preassembled silt fence. Posts are preattached to the fabric, allowing convenient installation. Simply unroll, stretch, and drive stakes. Make sure that the supporting posts are on the down slope side of the fencing. The bottom of the fabric should be placed under 6" of compacted soil to prevent sediment flow underneath the fence.
