UV-Stabilised PP Spunbond for crop protection and ground cover
Our fabric is engineered for crop protection, ground cover, and agricultural applications requiring breathability, UV stability, and reliable field performance.
Manufactured from high quality polypropylene with UV stabilisation tailored to agricultural exposure conditions, our spunbond nonwoven fabric is designed to balance airflow, moisture permeability, tensile performance, and durability across demanding outdoor environments.
Suitable for crop covers, frost protection, weed control, seeding applications, and agricultural underlay systems.
GSM Range
9 to 120 GSM
Typical Widths
2.2m, 2.4m
Agriculture Applications
Crop covers
9 to 30 gsmLightweight — allows light, air and water through while providing frost and pest protection
Plant covers
9 to 30 gsmSimilar to crop covers — lightweight breathable protection
Frost protection
17 to 20 gsmVery lightweight — primary function is thermal insulation, not strength
Weed control mat
50 to 80 gsmHeavier, typically black. Needs to block light and withstand foot traffic and UV exposure.
Seedling pots
40 to 60 gsmFlexible but can hold its shape when placed into a pot
Root ball wrapping
70 to 80 gsmHeavier, needs tensile strength to support soil and root ball weight during handling
Underlay
80 to 120 gsmHeavy duty — puncture resistance and dimensional stability required as an underlay

Why Agricultural Suppliers and Converters Choose Greatech
Agricultural nonwoven applications require more than lightweight coverage. Prolonged outdoor exposure, UV radiation, moisture, temperature variation, and field handling conditions place significant stress on nonwoven materials over time, particularly in demanding agricultural environments where durability and consistency directly impact usability and service life.
Greatech manufactures agricultural spunbond nonwoven fabric with a focus on long term field performance, dimensional stability, and reliable handling integrity. Using carefully controlled virgin polypropylene formulations and application specific UV stabilisation, our fabrics are engineered to maintain tensile strength, permeability, and structural consistency throughout the intended service life of the material.
Fabrics manufactured with inconsistent raw materials, excessive filler loading, or inadequate UV stabilisation can degrade prematurely under outdoor exposure, leading to tearing, embrittlement, fragmentation, inconsistent coverage, or reduced field life. In practical use, degraded materials may become difficult to remove intact after exposure cycles, increasing labour requirements and reducing overall product reliability in the field.
Our manufacturing approach prioritises stable fibre formation, reliable GSM control, consistent batch quality, and dependable converting performance to support demanding agricultural applications where material consistency matters. Available across a wide GSM range and multiple production widths, our agricultural spunbond nonwoven fabrics can be tailored for crop protection, frost barriers, weed control systems, root wrapping, underlay applications, greenhouse use, and horticultural systems requiring breathable, UV stabilised, and durable nonwoven performance.
