To have a sustained growth, India will require Investments to develop a strong support pillar-  GEOTEXTILE  FILTER  AUTOMOTIVE BR/BH/Hof 2009/D/11.11.2009 Source BCH

Emerging nations- China, Indonesia, Mexico, Turkey, Brazil, Russia, India Developed nations will be dependant on the emerging markets to take the opportunities available BR/BH/Hof 2009/D/11.11.2009 Source BCH

MEXICO In Mexico, the toll roads are being re-privatised and Mexican market players – construction companies, operators, banks and institutional investors – are enthusiastically looking for these investment opportunities, often in partnership with foreign investors. INDIA The government has announced in huge amounts to support and construct the infrastructure. Discussed in detail in following slides. BR/BH/Hof 2009/D/11.11.2009 Source BCH

CHINA China alone plans to spend $730 billion into infrastructure sector over the next three to five years, in a bid to stimulate domestic demand; to increase connectivity between towns & villages China plans to almost double its investment in railways to about 87.9 billion U.S. dollars a p art of this will be used to build a total of 5,148 km of new RUSSIA rails, To create economic activity, Russia plans to invest $6 trillion over the next 20 years in order to connect Europe and Western China and allow for the BR/BH/Hof 2009/D/11.11.2009 development of new territories and mineral deposits, producing a positive economic effect.

Nonwoven Geotextiles:  The separation of water and land is one of the important requirements of mankind  Geotextiles manufactured by using nonwoven technology are mainly used for the application like separation and filtration.  Nonwovens are classified based on the way the fibres are bonded together  Thermally bonded  Chemically bonded  Mechanically bonded  Spun laid and spun bonded  For Geotextiles, needlepunch technology is in the forefront BR/BH/Hof 2009/D/11.11.2009 of production Source BCH

Geotextiles are textile structures such as fabrics, mesh materials, nonwovens, nets, and composites which are deployed in various areas of underground construction for separation, support, protection, filter and/or drainage functions. BR/BH/Hof 2009/D/11.11.2009 Source BCH

Geosynthetics  Material used with soil for civil engineering applications  Geotextiles are textile materials manufactured by using synthetic fibres like  Polyester  Polyamide  Polypropylene  Polyethylene  Geotextiles are non-visible, permeable fabrics used for dams embarkment etc. BR/BH/Hof 2009/D/11.11.2009 Source BCH

Requirements of Geotextiles:-  Choice of fibre type and tenacity are determining factors for the product tenacity  Fibre orientation at the card as the starting point of product property  Fleece orientation after the crosslapper ( laying Angle with condensed web )  Felt stability in needling process  Control during heat setting process Benefits of Truetzschler Nonwovens Line  Less Draft : Less Shrinkage  More control on the fibre orientation BR/BH/Hof 2009/D/11.11.2009  Constant control over the elongation Source BCH

Properties for Geotextiles between 100 – 200 g/m² such as :  Tenacity  Elongation  Production  Accuracy in terms of Weight Distribution blend of fibres:  PP 4,4 – 6,7 dtex 90 -120 mm  High tenacity min. 4,7 cN/dtex BR/BH/Hof 2009/D/11.11.2009 Source BCH

The Fibre Choice as the Key to achieve the Properties  By the Drafting of the Fibre the Tenacity will be influenced  This Tenacity determines the Tenacity of the Product significantly and thus the Product Properties  This Treatment requires a very accurate Heat Setting if applied BR/BH/Hof 2009/D/11.11.2009  The precise Dosing and Blending of different fibre types is essential to achieve „designed“ Product Properties
