offers a number of benefits including: Class 2 – Typar 3501
Class 1 – Typar 3801
UNPAVED ROADS AND INDUSTRIAL YARDS
Unpaved roads and yards built prone to cause severe damage. • Prevents intermixing of aggregate

4. PAVED ROADS AND PARkING LOTS
Typar provides a rugged separation
and stabilization layer between the
road structure and the subgrade soils.
The use of Typar in this application
goes back over 35 years, and is
proven to be an exceptionally

6. RECREATIONAL FACILITIES
From football fields, baseball parks and
race tracks to golf courses, Typar
geotextiles are needed to keep layers
of the structure separate and prevent
contamination of customized surfaces
by underlying soils. Blanket and trench
drain systems for recreational facilities
often use Typar for economical
reasons and for ease of installation
permitting fast, simple construction.
• Preserves the integrity of
specialized surface materials
• Enhances the natural
long-term development of a
graded particle filter
• Eliminates the need for sacrificial
layers and allowances in
the structure
• Simplifies construction and reduces
construction time and cost
WASTE HANDLING SYSTEMS
Onsite waste water disposal or
septic systems serve approximately
one-third of the households in the
United States. Septic systems are
designed to disperse large volumes of
liquid by percolation into the ground
through large subsurface drainage
systems. Typar extends the system
life significantly.
• Prevents soil particles from clogging
large drainage systems
• Enhances the passing of liquid
through the system
• Unaffected by most chemicals
• Simplifies construction of large
drainage fields
• Proven alternative to graded
aggregate or sand filters which
are more expensive and difficult
to install Typar is a permeable barrier that separates soil from drainage material.

Note: Typar is manufactured from the highest quality polypropylene. During the manufacturing process a surface tension is formed on the
product which, prior to contact with soil, will cause water to run off the fabric giving the appearance of water resistance. This is a
temporary phenomenon which disappears when the fabric comes into contact with soil, and normal hydraulic properties will take effect.
