Accelerated weathering of polypropylene geotextiles

This paper reports research about the durability of non-woven geotextiles when exposed to artificial weathering conditions [ultraviolet (UV) radiation, rain and dew] on a laboratory weatherometer. The geotextiles were specially manufactured from polypropylene fibers stabilized with different amounts...
