Neoloy® NPA – Novel Polymeric Alloy – The Strongest & Stiffest Geocell!

PRS Geo-Technologies Neoloy Tough-CellsNeoloy TechnologyNeoloy® NPA – Novel Polymeric Alloy for Strong & Stiff Geocells

What is Neoloy Technology?

Neoloy® Technology is based on a Novel Polymeric Alloy (NPA), engineered to significantly enhance the strength and durability of geosynthetic products. 
It is the strongest, stiffest, and most resistant polymer alloy available on the market, and the only one that guarantees long-term geotechnical engineering properties – with a design life of up to 75 years, minimal maintenance, and the highest levels of performance and cost savings. 

Neoloy® is a proven, commercially available material, offered to geosynthetics manufacturers seeking to provide long-term, warrantied performance in their products. 

Why NPA Based Tough-Cells?

Geocell’s technology strengthens soft soil by mechanically confining the soil in three-dimensional honeycomb geometry. The geocell ability to confine soil over the long-term depends on retaining its geometry. If the geocell’s volume changes over time, the infill soil settles, compaction is lost and the design’s parameters invalidated. Even a change of 3% in the geocell’s geometry may result in a structural failure. 

Upon loading, geocells deform over time as a result of the stress on the cell walls.

For example, vertical loading on geocells in load support applications, such as roads, railways, airports, and ports, is transferred laterally to hoop stresses on the cell walls. This stress causes strains (deformations) which gradually accumulate over the project design life. If, and when a geocell (polymer) creeps more than 3%, the change in dimensional stability will result in a loss of soil confinement and the structure may fail. 

PRS Neoloy® Tough-Cells enables a geocell solution with unmatched long-term performance – guaranteed for the full project design life: 

  1. Elastic Stiffness (Dynamic Modulus) maintain stiffness under dynamic loading. 
  2. Permanent Deformation total accumulated elongation is <3% at the end of the design life 
  3. Cell Tensile Strength – maintain geocell geometry under heavy load
