Tensar TX Type 2 equivalent
No equivalent made
In stock, Carol StreamGeogrids
There is no equivalent to Tensar TX Type 2. Its performance comes from rib geometry and junction structure that no other manufacturer reproduces, and Tensar's own data sheet states its identification properties cannot be used to compare geogrids. Road Fabrics is a direct Tensar source and stocks Tensar TX Type 2 in 12.5' rolls in Carol Stream.
Replaces Tensar TX130s. That product is out of production. Specifications still calling for it can be filled with TX Type 2, which we stock.
Why there is no equivalent
Geogrid performance is not a property you can read off a data sheet. Tensar's own Product Identification Data Sheet for this product states that its identification properties are for quality assurance only, that they should not be evaluated in isolation, and that comparing geogrids requires full-scale trafficking data of the kind described in AASHTO R50.
That is the whole answer to the equivalency question. Two geogrids with matching rib pitch and aperture shape can behave differently under load, so a substitution cannot be justified on the numbers below. They identify the product; they do not rank it.
| Property | Test method | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Junction efficiency | ASTM D6637 / D7737 | 93 % |
| Resistance to chemical degradation | 100% | |
| Resistance to UV light and weathering | 70% |
