The soil reinforcement made of high-modulus alkali-resistant polyvinyl alcohol yarns
The Fortrac MDT soil reinforcement grid consists of high-modulus alkali-resistant polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) yarns with a low creep tendency and a polymeric protective coating. The raw material used makes them particularly economical to install, as local soils with external pH values can also be used. Even soils with hydraulic binders such as cement or lime can be used without any problems thanks to Fortrac MDT.
