Experienced gardeners when sounding such strange words as spunbond , agrotex, lutrasil understand what is at stake. But beginners can get confused. Let's understand what these terms mean, and how the material needed in gardening, covered under different names, works.
What is the difference between Lutrasil and Spanbond?
The main and only difference between Lutrasil and Spanbond is that they are different brands that produce non-woven covering materials, which are actively used in various spheres of horticulture and not only.
In other words, Lutrasil and Spanbond are essentially the same thing, and it's no use talking about which of them is better. Even with a careful examination of the rolls with these and other materials, you will not see the difference and the fundamental difference.
But the range of products within the general category of non-woven material in terms of density and color is different, and significantly. Here are these parameters and should pay attention when buying.
Color and density of non-woven cover cloth
Black spandbond has a special purpose - it protects the beds from weeds, because under such a cloth the temperature rises, causing the weed grass to die. And due to the persistent moisture, the intervals between the watering of the sheltered culture can be substantially reduced. Usually it has a density of 60 g / m & sup2.
As for the white non-woven material, it serves to protect vegetable landings from pests, heat and frost. Depending on the density, it fulfills one or another of its purposes:
- 17-30 g / m & sup2 - protects plants in the open ground from the sun, spring frosts, while providing plants a good microclimate due to their light and air permeability;
- 42-60 g / m & sup2 - suitable for the construction of winter shelters and greenhouses with arcs.
The Benefits of a Spandbond
Cover canvas is used not only in horticulture for sheltering plants and creating greenhouses, but also in other industries. For example, in construction as an insulating material for the construction of roads, parking lots, autobahns, pipelines, in medicine for tailoring clothing for surgeons, disposable bedding.
A nonwoven fabric is also used in the manufacture of female hygiene products and baby diapers. And also - in furniture production to create additional filing material. Also, the fabric is used for packing shoes and clothes. As you can see, the areas of application of the spindbond are very diverse.
