Beaulieu International Group showcases geotextile solutions at ICG 2018 in Seoul

• High tenacity staple fibres with high tensile strength for lightweight nonwoven geotextiles at reduced system cost
• Opportunities to optimally engineer geosynthetics to any given application
• Stand 14 ICG 2018, COEX, Seoul, Korea, 16-21 September

Wielsbeke, Belgium – September12, 2018 – Beaulieu International Group (B.I.G.) heads to the South Koreancapital to present its strong support for the growing geosynthetics market atthe 11^th International Conference on Geosynthetics ICG 2018 (Stand14).

From 16 to 21 September, showvisitors can experience B.I.G.’s industry-leading polypropylene (PP) staplefibres for heavy-duty and lightweight nonwoven geotextiles, ready-to-use wovengeotextiles and solutions for geocomposites.

Karena Cancilleri, Vice PresidentBeaulieu Engineered Products, Beaulieu International Group, comments:“Geosynthetics play a crucial role in answering the demanding applicationconditions of the construction and civil engineering industries. Our hightenacity fibres, optimally engineered woven geotextiles and custom madegeocomposites can reinforce their increasing popularity in these segments byoffering opportunities to improve or tailor product performance and evenachieve system cost reductions. With Asia Pacific expected to lead marketgrowth between now and 2023[1], we are looking forward to beingon-the-ground to demonstrate our constant innovation to support the evolutionof products for this important region.”

High tensile strength PPfibres: Beaulieu FibresInternational (BFI)’s range of high tenacity PP staple fibres offer hightensile strength without compromising on elongation. Their combination ofproperties supports the production of lightweight high performancetear-resistant geotextiles for heavy-duty engineering and constructionnonwovens. The consistent quality fibres provide opportunities to reducegeotextile system cost by maximizing machine efficiency, ensuring desiredperformance and saving weight of up to 15% compared with standard geotextilefibres. A higher dtex range is available for environmental applications.

CE accredited woven textilesand geocomposites:Beaulieu Technical Textiles (BTT) will present its variety offunctionality-focused Terralys^® PP woven geotextiles solutions toICG visitors, including off-the-shelf and customized fabric constructionsoptimally engineered to meet stringent geotechnical specifications.

BTT has in-house expertise inextrusion, weaving, coating and lamination techniques which enables it to workin close technical collaboration with customers on the development ofcustomized geotextiles and geocomposites. Terralys geotextile solutions areused worldwide for separation, filtration and reinforcement, and can also beused as components for geosynthetic clay liners (GCL).

Join the teams from BeaulieuFibres International and Beaulieu Technical Textiles at Stand 14 from 16 to 21September 2018 at the COEX, Seoul, Korea.
