How to Choose the geogrids? PP or PE?

In the industry, geogrids are made of various materials, such as glass fiber or steel-plastic. As a manufacturer of geosynthetic materials based on high molecular polymer, Zhonglong focuses on providing plastic geogrids that meet the national standard (GB/T 17689-2008), mainly divided into two types of raw materials: PP and PE.

Q: Why the plastic geogrids are mainly divided into PP and PE？

After long-term market validation, geogrids made from PP and PE materials have achieved an optimal balance in terms of manufacturing process, practicality and cost. The following are the differences in characteristics between the two products:

Q: How to choose the geogrids?

Choose PP Geogrids:

1. Stabilizing soft subgrades for roads and railways where high stiffness and strength are needed.

2. Reinforcing asphalt pavement layers due to their high heat resistance (the primary reason for this application).

3. Reinforced soil walls and bridge abutments where long-term tensile strength and creep resistance are critical.

Choose PE Geogrids:

1. Working in aggressive chemical environments like landfills, containment ponds or coastal areas.

2. Reinforcing steep slopes where high toughness and deformation capacity are advantageous.

3. The application requires excellent impact resistance or high resistance to stress cracking.
