Mirafi Miragrid 8XT US Fabric Equivalent is SGU120

STRATAGRID SGU120 (formerly SG550) is engineered to be mechanically and chemically durable, in both the harsh construction installation phase and in aggressive soil environments (pH range from 3-9). STRATAGRID SGU120 meets the following properties:

Miragrid 8XT geogrid is composed of high molecular weight, high tenacity polyester multifilament yarns woven in tension and finished with a PVC coating. Miragrid 8XT geogrid is inert to biological degradation and resistant to naturally encountered chemicals, alkalis, and acids. Miragrid 8XT geogrid is used as soil reinforcement in MSE structures such as; segmental retaining walls, precast modular block walls, wire faced walls, geosynthetic wrapped faced walls and steepened slopes. Miragrid 8XT is also used in MSE stabilized platforms for voids bridging, embankments on soft soils, landfill veneer stability, reducing differential settlement and for foundation seismic stability. TenCate Geosynthetics Americas is accredited by Geosynthetic Accreditation Institute – Laboratory Accreditation Program (GAI-LAP).
