MACGRID EG
POLYPROPYLENE BI-AXIAL GEOGRIDS
MACGRID EG are high modulus polypropylene geogrids, produced by an extrusion process characterized by a tensile resistance both in the longitudinal and in the transverse direction.
They are inert to all chemical existing in natural soils 4<ph<9.
MACGRID EG are mainly used for soil stabilization and for some kinds of soil reinforcements applications.
