Geosynthetics Africa supplies MIRAFI® P nonwoven geotextiles, manufactured by Solmax under license. MIRAFI® and Bidim® are registered trademarks of Solmax, and Geosynthetics Africa distributes these products under authorization; Geosynthetics Africa is not the trademark owner.

MIRAFI® P (also referred to as MIRAFI® Bidim® P) is a mechanically bonded, continuous-filament, needle-punched nonwoven geotextile, composed of 100% UV-stabilized polypropylene. The robust mechanical construction ensures protection efficiency for geomembranes in containment and lining systems

In South Africa, Geosynthetics Africa markets this range as MIRAFI® P, emphasizing our commitment to providing high-quality, virgin-polypropylene geotextiles. This helps distinguish it from locally marketed alternatives that might use recycled materials or lesser constructions.

In the rest of Africa (outside South Africa) and international markets — including the Americas, Europe, and Australia — the same Solmax-manufactured material is specified as MIRAFI® Bidim® P. This dual naming approach ensures clarity and alignment with global specifications while preserving brand consistency within South Africa.

Why Virgin Polypropylene Protection is Superior

Geomembrane protection depends on strength and reliability. Recycled polyester fabrics can be inconsistent in thickness, strength and puncture resistance, increasing risk of liner damage. By contrast, Mirafi® P virgin polypropylene offers:

• Dependable puncture resistance: Protects geomembranes against subgrade irregularities and angular backfill.

• Predictable quality: Consistent batch-to-batch performance simplifies approvals.

• Long-term stability: Resistant to chemical attack and biological degradation.

• Durable cushioning: Maintains protective performance under compaction and cover soil loads.
