Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD The present disclosure relates to the field of geotextile raw materials, and in particular to an additive for a spunbond nonwoven geotextile and a geotextile. BACKGROUND Polyester spunbond nonwoven geotextiles, also known as polyester filament spunbond needle-punched nonwoven geotextiles, are mainly used in infrastructure projects such as highways, railways, bridges, tunnels, landfills, water conservancy projects, mines, ash dams, land reclamation, airport runways, and retaining walls to play the roles of reinforcement, filtration, anti filtration, seperation, or the like (hereinafter referred to as geotextiles). Due to long-term outdoor use of geotextiles, resistance to aging of geotextiles greatly affects the service performance and application range of products. Thus, resistance to aging is an important performance indicator for geotextile products. For example, it is stipulated in the Australia road engineering specification MRTS27 that, after geotextiles for road construction are exposed to an ultraviolet (UV) aging-resistance test instrument for 672 h, a strength retention rate should be higher than or equal to 50%. A large number of products in the prior art cannot meet the requirement in the above specification during use.

Test results were listed in Table 2. A geotextile was first subjected to a holding tensile test in accordance with the test standard AS2001.2.3.2 to obtain a first Newton force value, where a sample size was 100 mm x 200 mm and a tensile speed was 300 mm / min. A test result was expressed in a unit of Newton (N). An Adjacent sample was taken and placed in an aging-resistance test instrument (xenon arc lamp + simulated rain spray) for 500 h, and then taken out and subjected to the above holding tensile test to obtain a second Newton force value. Then the second Newton force value was divided by the first Newton force value to obtain a strength retention rate before and after aging, namely, an aging strength retention rate of the geotextile. The greater the aging strength retention rate of the geotextile, the better the aging resistance of the geotextile.
