SKAPS Mills produces a superior quality, nonwoven geotextile produced by needlepunching together 100% polypropylene staple fibers in a random network to form a high strength dimensionally stable fabric. The polypropylene fibers are specially formulated to resist ultraviolet light deterioration, and are inert to commonly encountered soil chemicals. The fabric will not rot or mildew, is non-biodegradable, and is resistant to damage from insects and rodents. Polypropylene is stable within a ph range of 2 to 13.
