Today, to keep a vegetable garden in order and to grow fruits is much easier than decades ago. This is promoted by the development of science, some branches of which, among other things, affect crop production. Various technologies, techniques and materials are offered. Recently, in many areas spunbond is widely used, which, according to the producers, allows them to grow the maximum yield with minimum labor costs. Is it so? Let's see what it is - spunbond and consider the areas of its application.
Spunbond - characteristics and application
Spunbond is a nonwoven material, the technology of production is reduced to heat treatment of the polymer (for example, polyamide, polypropylene) by spun bonding. At it, the polymer breaks up into thin filaments (filaments), which, after drawing out, are fused into a single web on a moving conveyor. The result is a canvas with a homogeneous structure with varying degrees of density. It varies from 15 to 150 g / m & sup2. Spanbond has a number of advantages, namely:
- ease, thanks to which even the plantations can be covered without fear of damage;
- ecological compatibility, since the material does not emit harmful substances into the atmosphere even when heated;
- air and water permeability, why under the canvas creates a favorable microclimate, but does not develop fungi and infections;
- strength, which persists under adverse environmental conditions;
- deshiviznoy.
Such advantages of spunbond made the material very popular in many areas.
Application Spanbond
Today the spectrum of spunbond use is unusually wide. If we talk about medicine and services, the material is used as a disposable medical and protective clothing, as well as for disposable furniture covers to protect against dust and dirt. Moreover, in the list of what is made of spunbond, you can call hygiene products, for example, napkins, diapers , pads.
In addition, spunbond is widely used in the light industry as a lining fabric when sewing clothes, shoes, soft furniture covers, bed linen bags and suitcases, etc.
You will be surprised, but nonwoven spunbond material is often used in construction as an excellent waterproofing material.
Spanbond in the agricultural sector
Perhaps the most ardent users of spunbond are the owners of lands that cultivate various agricultural crops. And for this there is every reason. Basically, non-woven material is used as an excellent covering material, which perfectly tolerates direct sunlight, high or low temperatures, and humidity.
The use of spunbond in a dacha or fields is justified by the ability of spunbond to create a special, favorable microclimate for plants. In early spring or autumn, the canvas will save your landing from frost. If there has come a strip of prolonged rains, to save plants from moisture and possible diseases again will help cover with a spunbond. Protect from sunburn again can canvas non-woven fabric. In this case, use only white spunbond.
Moreover, spunbond is an excellent option for mulching the soil. For this purpose, a roll with a density of not less than 70-80 g / m2 sup2 and dark color, ideally black, is acquired. Cloth cover the garden bed, cutting holes with a cross for cultivated plants. As a result, after watering, moisture remains permanently in the soil, not evaporating, and the weeds do not grow because the sun's rays can not penetrate. In addition, the sponbond is recommended to cover bushes and perennials for the winter.
