The first generation ‘standard’ textile bunker liners
developed in North America, have arguably been
geared towards the typically mild or moderate North
American climate vis-à-vis rainfall (i.e. drainage
capability) and sunlight stability (i.e. U.V. resistance).
Fiber Bond Corporation has recently introduced its
own slightly-above-standard SandCatcher bunker
liner materials for use in moderate climates. For
tropical climates with monsoonal rains and often
intense sunlight, ‘standard’ products may not in our
opinion get the job done over the long haul. For this
reason, Fiber Bond has also introduced its TrapTex
line of materials with an improved structure in the
fabric to help prevent the loss of geotextile drainage
performance in long-term wet, warm conditions.
TrapTex is also loaded with U.V. stabilizers to minimize
strength degradation from sunlight exposure that
inevitably seems to occur, for example when the
bunker sand delivery is delayed. Both the SandCatcher
and TrapTex product ranges are also available with
thin, dense textile backings on the underside for use
with poor subgrade soils. Please contact Clive Mills
