The basic elements of a geotextile are its fibers. There are three types of synthetic fibers, the filaments, the staples fibers, and the slit films: ... Slit films are flat tapelike fibers , typically 1 to 3 mm (40 to 120 mils) wide, produced by slitting with blades an extruded plastic film. After the slitting of the film, the tapelike fibers are drawn. As a result of the draw, molecules become oriented in the same direction and the strength of the fibers increases. 2, record 3, English, - slit%20film%20woven

Much work has been carried out recently on the production of textiles from film, in contrast to the more conventional method of producing man-made fibres by extruding a viscous liquid through a spinneret, and solidifying the continuous threads. A film is formed by extruding a viscous liquid through a long slit and not the conventional type of spinneret. This film can be transformed into a useable textile by many different processes, one example is the narrow tapes from a few millimetres to a few centimetres wide. 3, record 3, English, - slit%20film%20woven
