Spunlace Nonwoven Fabric for Agriculture — Crop Protection, Biodegradable Grade
Spunlace Nonwoven Fabric for Agriculture is a critical raw material for B2B manufacturers. As India’s leading spunlace nonwoven fabric manufacturer, Favourite Fab supplies agriculture grade spunlace in 30–80 GSM from our Agra facility — direct to OEM converters, wipe manufacturers, and hygiene brands across India and 30+ export markets.
Why Spunlace Nonwoven for Agriculture?
Spunlace nonwoven is produced by hydroentanglement — high-pressure water jets entangle fibres without chemical binders. The result is a soft, strong, lint-free sheet with exceptional absorbency and drape. Key advantages for agriculture applications:
- High absorbency — viscose fibres absorb 8–12× their weight in liquid
- Softness — no thermal bonding = no hard fibre junctions = cloth-like feel
- Strength — hydroentanglement creates mechanical bonding that survives wet use
- No binder — no latex or chemical binder = clean, safe for skin and food contact
- Biodegradable option — 100% viscose grade composts within 90–180 days

Frequently Asked Questions
How is spunlace used in agriculture?
Spunlace is used as biodegradable crop covers (frost protection, pest control), fruit protection bags, and post-harvest drying cloths. 100% viscose grade degrades in soil within 90–180 days, eliminating microplastic risk vs PP spunbond.
What GSM spunlace is used for crop covers?
30–50 GSM for light frost and insect protection covers. 50–80 GSM for heavier frost protection and UV-filtering applications. Biodegradable viscose grade preferred for end-of-season in-field decomposition.
Does agricultural spunlace affect soil if ploughed in?
100% viscose spunlace is cellulose-based — fully biodegradable in soil without leaving microplastic residues. Decomposition rate: 60–180 days depending on soil moisture and temperature. Safe for in-field disposal.
B2B Applications & OEM Use-Cases
- Agricultural film & crop protection product manufacturers — use 20–35 GSM UV-stable PP/PET spunlace for crop row covers, seedling protection mats, and frost protection fabric; the open structure permits air and moisture exchange while blocking frost and reducing insect ingress without chemical treatment.
- Nursery & horticulture supply distributors — source lightweight agricultural spunlace in wide rolls (2.4 m–3.2 m) for greenhouse shading, transplant protection, and weed suppression applications supplied to commercial nurseries and floriculture operations across India.
- Agri-input exporters & commodity traders — bulk supply of agriculture-grade spunlace for repackaging under regional brand programs; UV stabilisation rating (150–300 h UV exposure per EN 13589) documented per batch for export market compliance.
Sourcing from Favourite Fab — MOQ, Lead Time & Customisation
Favourite Fab supplies agriculture grade spunlace nonwoven directly from our Agra manufacturing facility. MOQ: 500 kg per specification. Domestic lead time: 7–14 days. Export lead time: 21–30 days (FOB Nhava Sheva / ICD Tughlakabad). Customisation options include GSM (20–35 GSM range), roll width (1.6 m–3.2 m), fibre blend (PP/PET, PP dominant for UV resistance), UV stabiliser loading (100–300 h rating), and colour (white, black, green). All grades are ISO 9001 certified. Request a sample roll or bulk quote via our contact page.
Additional Frequently Asked Questions
What GSM is recommended for crop row cover spunlace?
Lightweight grades of 20–30 GSM are standard for crop row covers and frost protection — they transmit sufficient light and air while providing frost protection down to -2 deg C. Heavier grades (30–35 GSM) are used for weed suppression mats and ground cover applications where higher tensile strength is needed.
How long does agriculture spunlace last outdoors?
UV stabiliser loading determines service life. Our standard agriculture grades carry 150 h UV stabilisation (approximately one season). Extended grades with 300 h UV stabilisation are available for multi-season use. UV stability is tested per EN 13589 and data is documented per batch.
What roll widths are available for agriculture spunlace?
We supply agriculture spunlace in widths from 1.6 m to 3.2 m. Wide rolls (2.4 m, 3.2 m) reduce overlap requirements for large-bed crop coverage. Custom widths with ±2 cm tolerance are available from 500 kg MOQ.
