Spunbond

ELEVES for agricultural usage
Material for agricultural row coverings

ELEVES for agricultural usage is polyester composite spunbond nonwoven fabric convenient and useful for agricultural row coverings and tunnels. It protects crops from frost in the winter and promotes germination in the planting season. It has excellent air permeability as well as appropriate hygroscopic and warmth-keeping properties. Also, since the fabric is highly translucent, there is almost no need to worry about plant growth problems. Not only is it suitable for row coverings for outdoor grown crops but, when used with tunnels and greenhouses, it can also be applied for many other types of crops.
