Difference between PP Trellis netting and PE Trellis netting
Trellis netting is often used when cultivating indoor plants or growing climbing plants, and is usually made of PP (polypropylene) and PE (polyethylene). It allows the plants to be reasonably distributed in a certain space and makes the light more evenly distributed. This plays a role in promoting the growth of the plant’s foliage. Especially in the case of tobacco and cannabis cultivation, Trellis netting has a very important role in increasing the yield of the plant.
Trellis netting can be used horizontally to provide uniform ventilation or light conditions for plants. trellis netting can also be used vertically to support climbing plants and fruit.
So what is the difference between PP Trellis netting and PE Trellis netting?
- PP Trellis netting has better rigidity, strength and heat resistance than PE Trellis netting, PE is easy to be light oxidation, thermal oxidation and ozone decomposition.
- PP material density is smaller than PE, PP density is only 0.90~0.91g/cm3. PE density 0.91~0.96g/cm3.
- Temperature resistance, PP is also higher than PE, generally PP can withstand pasteurization temperature.
- Transparency PP is better than PE, but the starting sealing temperature and heat sealing strength of PE is better than PP.
Moreover, both PP and PE materials have very good toughness and resistance to tensile and corrosion, and both are capable of fulfilling the requirements of plant support netting.
Similarities.
1. PE, PP materials are not colored are milky white translucent, waxy polymer.
2. Both are non-polar crystalline polymers with better compatibility.
3. Non-toxic, good chemical stability, easy to mold and process.
produced by Tuohua has received consistent praise from customers for its good quality and timely delivery. The raw material we use has a higher antioxidant content and good weather resistance. The high purity and quality of the raw material enables the product to have higher toughness and tensile strength. PP materials are more cost effective than PE materials. If you are considering Trellis netting, we can provide a wide range of specifications and materials for you to choose from. Please feel free to inquire.
From an environmental point of view, because PP materials have more crystals (meaning fewer carbon chains). Therefore, PP materials are easier to degrade under natural conditions. PP material has a more efficient cost advantage. If you consider plant support nets, we can provide a variety of specifications and materials for you to choose from. Welcome to consult.
