Black spunbond is a covering material, with the advent of which a new era has begun in the field of agriculture and plant growing. Differing in density, color and composition, it is widely used not only as a mulching cover, but also for protection against pests, stimulation of growth and formation of plantations.
How does black spunbond get a covering material?
The manufacturing technique involves melt the polymers in a spunbond way. Subsequently, thin continuous filaments are obtained from them, which are stretched in the air stream and are laid on the moving conveyor to form a web.
From the technical characteristics can be noted:
- Good air permeability.
- Homogeneous structure, allowing evenly distribute moisture and heat and maintain a constant microclimate.
- Light tightness.
- High properties of heat insulator.
- Light weight.
- Strength and wear resistance.
- Hygiene. On its surface, putrefactive bacteria and mold do not multiply. Chemical compounds do not affect its state.
- Not toxic.
Application of black spunbond
Those who are interested in growing under a black spunbond should be told that strawberries, strawberries, gooseberries, currants, blackberries, cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, fruit trees, berry bushes. Many doubt how to properly put a black spunbond on a bed, but in the meantime there is nothing complicated. The bed is cooked as usual, that is, it is well leveled and stretched with covering material, fixing it around the edges with boards or stones.
Now it remains only to cut through the cruciform holes at the distance on which the seedlings will be located from each other, and plant it. If it is already planted, the holes are made strictly above the bushes, and afterwards young leaves are neatly passed through them.
In white material, do not make slits: it is designed to ensure the successful growth of plants directly under themselves.
Black, as already mentioned, is used as a mulching cover, and there is also a black and white spunbond that combines the properties of covering and mulching materials. In addition, some manufacturers offer foil and reinforced spunbond. The former activates growth processes by reflecting sunlight on plants, while the latter is intended for greenhouses and hotbeds of increased strength.
