TM
• Durable woven polypropylene fabric, reusable for multiple
applications and easy to maintain and clean
• Uniform fabric protection, shielding soil from sunlight and
retarding weed growth without spraying
• Water permeability for retained soil moisture (also air
permeability in Landscape Fabric)
• UV stability, resisting degradation due to sunlight or light
mulch cover
• Puncture- and tear-resistant construction, sustaining
pedestrian and light vehicular traffic (Landscape Fabric)
• Frictional resistance, retaining mulch and reducing erosion on
embankments
• Convenient marker lines, improving plant alignment and
presentation
Agrotextiles
Agrotextile fabrics from Thrace-LINQ™ provide the ultimate
in quality and performance. Woven from thin extruded
polypropylene tape, they allow air and water permeability
while retarding weed growth and unwanted evaporation.
Their stable, cost-effective construction also controls
erosion
and provides a protective, cleanable cover for greenhouses
or winter environments.
Thrace-LINQ agrotextiles are available in two grades for
maximum suitability — Ground Cover for dependable
everyday use and Landscape Fabric for professional-grade
applications. Both include a UV stabilizer that resists
degradation and dramatically extends usefulness. Since
agrotextile fabrics create a microclimate for plant growth,
they also reduce the need for pesticides, providing an
ideal environment for organic growing.
