Spec InterpretationUS 315
Woven Geotextile
A woven geotextile made of 100% polypropylene slit film yarns. US 315 resists ultraviolet and biological deterioration, rotting, naturally encountered basics and acids. Polypropylene is stable within a pH range of 2 to 13. US 315 will satisfy the requirements as outlined in AASHTO M-288-06 for Class 1 Stabilization & Separation applications and meets the following M.A.R.V. values except where noted:
