The ground cover fabric is also known as weed control fabric or landscape fabric. It is made of PP (PE) woven fabric or PP spunbond non-woven fabric or PET spunbond non-woven fabric and is mainly used to cover the ground surface to prevent the growth of weeds.
PP (Polypropylene) woven fabric and PE (Polyethylene) woven fabric are two common types of woven textiles made from synthetic polymer fibers. They share similar manufacturing processes but differ slightly in material properties, leading to distinct applications.
The production process involves using PP (PE) raw materials, which are melted through heat and then stretched into flat strips. These strips are then woven and processed to form the final product.
The difference between the two raw materials lies in that the fabric produced with PP raw material has a shorter service life than that produced with PE raw material.
What is PP spunbond non-woven fabric?
PP spunbond non-woven fabric is a fabric made by melting PP particles, extruding them, stretching them, and then hot-pressing. It has the advantages of light weight, softness and easy cutting. It is mainly used in packaging bag production and garden weed prevention (mainly used under floor tiles or wood chips) and other fields.
What is PET spunbond non-woven fabric?
The production process of PET spunbond non-woven fabric is the same as that of PP spunbond non-woven fabric, except that the raw materials used are different. However, the strength, density and UV resistance of PET spunbond non-woven fabric are stronger than those of PP spunbond non-woven fabric, and the price is slightly higher.
The above three types of materials are the most common types of ground cover fabric. Each type of fabric has its own unique characteristics. When making a purchase, you can choose the ground cover fabric that suits your specific needs based on your usage requirements.
