{"product_id":"geomalla-biaxial-de-polipropileno-pp","title":"Biaxial polypropylene (PP) geogrid","description":"\u003cp\u003eReinforcing road bases on soft soils where gravel sinks and forms potholes in a few months, stabilizing commercial parking lots with vehicular loads dispersed in multiple directions, and reducing the thickness of expensive aggregate by saving excavation and backfill, requires extruded biaxial geogrid with tensile strength in two directions and calibrated apertures for aggregate interlock. This polypropylene (PP) biaxial geogrid—also called \u003cstrong\u003ebiaxial geogrid\u003c\/strong\u003e, biaxial geogrid or subgrade reinforcement mesh—is manufactured by MOLTEXO from extruded virgin PP and stretched in two directions with 40 kN\/m strength, in 6 m wide and 50 m long rolls, designed for road construction, industrial platforms, commercial parking lots, and temporary access roads during construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBidirectional strength for dispersed loads:\u003c\/strong\u003e stretching in both longitudinal and transverse directions produces a mesh with tensile strength in both directions, ideal for distributing vehicular and pedestrian loads coming from multiple angles onto the pavement.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMechanical interlock with granular aggregates:\u003c\/strong\u003e rigid apertures confine crushed stone and gravel (\"interlock\"), creating a pseudo-rigid aggregate layer with significantly higher bearing capacity than unbound aggregate, a mechanism that distinguishes an effective geogrid from a decorative plastic grid.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSavings on calibrated aggregate:\u003c\/strong\u003e allows for a reduction in base and subbase thickness, depending on soft soil conditions and required project strength, resulting in significant savings on excavation, backfill, and costs in large-scale projects.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChemically inert and durable PP:\u003c\/strong\u003e resists biological degradation, chemical attack from soil acids and alkalis, environmental humidity, and typical Caribbean temperatures, conditions for a service life of decades when buried.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRapid deployment without specialized machinery:\u003c\/strong\u003e manageable roll that is spread over the subgrade with basic equipment, a condition that significantly reduces construction times compared to alternatives with cementation or chemical soil stabilization.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTypical Applications and Uses\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReinforcement of bases and subbases for paved roads, unpaved roads, and industrial roadways with continuous traffic.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStabilization of commercial parking lots, marshalling yards, industrial platforms, and heavy equipment parking areas.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eShallow foundations on soft, swampy, or low bearing capacity soils in residential and commercial projects.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTemporary access roads for construction sites, mining operations, and work areas with inadequate natural soil.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eQuality and Durability\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn economical biaxial geogrid fails in two ways: the PP is not virgin but low-quality recycled (which causes abrasion and breakage due to interaction with aggregates during spreading and compaction) and the two-directional stretching is deficient with weak nodes (which significantly reduces the actual strength compared to the declared strength). MOLTEXO works with extruded virgin PP and controlled bidirectional stretching, which distinguishes an auditable structural geogrid for construction from a generic plastic grid that appears to reinforce but provides no real bearing capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"background-color: #F3F6F3; padding: clamp(14px, 4vw, 18px); margin-top: 20px; font-size: 0.9em; color: #555555; border-radius: 8px;\"\u003e\n  \u003cstrong style=\"color: #006902;\"\u003eAlso known as:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n  \u003cstrong\u003eTechnical:\u003c\/strong\u003e biaxial geogrid, extruded biaxial geogrid, bi-oriented geogrid, subgrade reinforcement mesh, BX geogrid.\n  \u003cstrong\u003eIn DR and Caribbean:\u003c\/strong\u003e geomalla biaxial, geogrid, malla geogrid, malla estructural para suelos.\n  \u003cstrong\u003eIn other countries:\u003c\/strong\u003e biaxial geogrid (USA), BX geogrid (USA), pavement reinforcement geogrid (USA), geomalla biaxial (LATAM), geogrilla biaxial (LATAM, ES), géogrille biaxiale (FR).\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"MOLTEXO","offers":[{"title":"40 kN\/m (2.7 kip\/ft) \/ Roll 6 m (19.7 ft) wide and 50 m (164 ft) long","offer_id":52268167233864,"sku":"561774","price":181440.0,"currency_code":"DOP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0916\/9751\/2776\/files\/rollo-geomalla-biaxial-negra-construccion-rd.png?v=1771857615","url":"https:\/\/dodom.com\/en\/products\/biaxial-polypropylene-pp-geogrid","provider":"Dodom","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
