Product Data Sheet
FLEX 180N GEOTEXTILE
SEPARATION LAYER
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Flex 180N Geotextile is a non woven geotextile composed of polypropylene fibers, which are formed into
a stable network such that the fibers retain their relative position. Flex 180N Geotextile is inert to
biological degradation and resists naturally encountered chemicals, alkalis, and acids.
The Flex 180N Geotextile is installed as a separation or protection layer in Flex Protected Membrane
Roof Systems. It also is used as a protection layer and filtration fabric in Flex Garden Roof Systems and
Flex Below Grade Waterproofing Systems. The Flex 180N has excellent physical and hydraulic properties
in addition to high tensile strength. The Flex 180N provides the required strength and abrasion resistance
to protect Flex Thermoplastic Roofing and Waterproofing Membranes withstanding installation and
application stress to create an effective, long term solution.
