What are the main raw materials of PP weed control fabric?
The material is made of polypropylene (PP) fibers, which is a thermoplastic resin with excellent heat resistance, chemical resistance and mechanical strength.
In agriculture, gardening and landscaping, the growth and spread of weeds is a serious problem, which not only affects the growth and harvest of crops, but also consumes the water and nutrients in the soil, increases the risk of diseases and pests, and reduces the land utilization and aesthetics. To effectively control weeds, people often use different methods such as herbicides, manual weeding, covers, etc. Among them, covers are a more environmentally friendly and economical method, which can prevent weeds by covering the ground or crops, blocking the photosynthesis and growth space of weeds. There are many types of covers, such as plastic film, straw, wheat straw, wood chips, etc., but one of the most common and practical ones is PP weed control fabric.
PP weed control fabric is a cover made of polypropylene (PP) fibers, which has good heat resistance, chemical resistance and mechanical strength. It can effectively suppress weeds, maintain soil temperature and humidity, improve soil structure and nutrition, prevent and reduce diseases and pests, adapt to different terrains and climates, etc. This article will mainly introduce the main raw material of PP weed control fabric – polypropylene (PP) fiber’s properties and characteristics, as well as the production process and quality standards of PP weed control fabric.
