PolyCell™ – Polypropylene Geocell for Concrete Shuttering & Liner Protection

Product Description

PolyCell™ is a high-strength, lightweight Polypropylene Geocell supplied by Inframat South Africa, engineered for use in concrete shuttering, formwork support, and geomembrane liner protection.

Manufactured from 100% virgin polypropylene strips, PolyCell panels are ultrasonically welded to create a flexible honeycomb structure. Once expanded and filled with concrete, soil, or aggregate, they form a robust cellular confinement system that resists movement, reduces erosion, and distributes loads effectively.

Key Applications

• Concrete Shuttering & Formwork – Provides stable vertical and horizontal shuttering, minimizing movement during curing.

• Liner Protection – Protects HDPE and PVC geomembranes from puncture, stress, and displacement.

• Channel & Slope Protection – Reduces surface erosion by stabilizing infill materials on gradients.

• Load Support – Distributes dynamic and static loads, ideal under access roads, work platforms, and storage areas.

• Temporary & Permanent Works – Quick installation for both short-term formwork or long-life geotechnical solutions.

Product Features

• Virgin Polypropylene Construction – Superior chemical resistance and durability.

• Cellular Confinement Technology – Flexible yet robust honeycomb structure ensures high stability.

• Lightweight & Easy to Install – Simple handling on site, minimal equipment required.

• Cost-Effective – Reduces material usage and construction time.

• Environmentally Friendly – UV-stabilised and resistant to biological degradation.
