Syntec/GSE Syntec SBX12 US Fabric Equivalent is BaseGrid 12

BaseGrid 12 is an integrally formed, polypropylene, bi-axial geogrid with a load transfer mechanism of positive mechanical interlock. BaseGrid 12 is designed for base reinforcement and subgrade improvement. BaseGrid 12 meets the following M.A.R.V. values except where noted:

Syntec SBX12 is an integrally formed, bi-axial geogrid made from the highest quality polypropylene resin. Syntec SBx Geogrids off the most economical, expedient and reliable solution to stabilize weak soils or reinforce aggregate base materials. SBx geogrids confine stone and soil particles to prevent lateral shearing. When used, vehicular and other loads are spread over a much broader surface area, thus reducing the pressure applied to the subgrade. Syntec SBX12 meets the following M.A.R.V. values except where noted:
