UV Treated Non Woven Fabric
Product Description
UV TREATED FABRICS made from polypropylene an economical and environment friendly polymer; by spinning the material into fine filaments and bonding them by heat without use of any binders.
This fabric is a modern textile which is neither a film or a conventional textile. It is very light generally 17 to 19 grams per square meter and therefore very economical. The Fabric has specialized UV absorbers incorporated in it which ensures protection against the sun’s rays.
UV treated fabric basically create a microclimate providing uniform ventilation thereby encouraging early growth and development of the plant and/or crop with the valuable end result of both improvement in quality and yield. UV treated fabric protects the plant from cold and frost. Up to 5 degrees C some circulating moisture is trapped by it and in the event of a frost this film freezes providing the plant with natural frost protection. It minimizes the dangers caused by hail, heavy rains and storms.
