The new Plantex® RootProtector is a strong, water-permeable root barrier suited to both vertical and horizontal applications. It is manufactured from continuous PP filaments that are spun and laid down as a web which is thermally and mechanically bonded at filament crossover points.
This bonding method gives a unique combination of properties that offer optimal resistance against root penetration, exceeding existing alternative woven or needle-punched solutions.
The prevention of root contamination of infrastructure base or drainage layers – whether vertical or horizontal – ensures that these remain free-draining throughout their working life.
