ES2254021A1 - Biodegradable mesh for vegetation, consists of textile with multiple yarns, staples or narrow fibers obtained from fabrics of paper or non-woven cellulose fabric - Google Patents

Abstract

The biodegradable mesh consists of textile (1) with multiple yarns, staples or narrow fabrics (11) obtained from fibers of paper or non-woven cellulose fabric. The textile comprises several holes (12) through which vegetation is allowed to grow. The yarns, staples, or narrow fabrics comprise dyed segments (11a) for defining signs (2).

Description

Biodegradable mesh for slope fixing and land.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a mesh Biodegradable for fixing slopes and lands.

Background of the invention

It is currently a frequent practice to Slope placement of meshes that act as an element of land fixation or retention for sufficient time to achieve the growth of vegetation, acting subsequently the roots as support elements or ground fixation.

These meshes mostly conform to plastic or wire materials and, in some cases with fibers of coconut, presenting these different problematic elements related to the high manufacturing cost and / or the high cost Time needed for degradation.

Specifically, plastic meshes are not biodegradable and have a high cost, while meshes wire are degradable in the very long term, being able to constitute a problem for both maintenance operators and Animals for a long time.

When it comes to coconut fiber mesh, We must highlight its high cost.

Description of the invention

The mesh for slopes and lands subject to The present invention presents constructive particularities. aimed at solving the problem of existing meshes, both in terms of degradation time and cost manufacturing, and to provide other advantages such as its capacity to act as fertilizer once degraded.

For this, the mesh of the invention is formed by a fabric of threads and / or wicks and / or ribbons obtained from from paper and / or a nonwoven fabric of cellulose, of different diameters and widths and with different weights per meter resulting meshes of different thicknesses and weights per square meter, which has the peculiarity of being totally biodegradable and of Low manufacturing cost.

It is also expected that the fabric, or the constitutive material from which the tissue is formed, may present, as appropriate, a treatment with natural waxes to facilitate its handling, a treatment with products of surface treatment to improve its moisture resistance and a treatment with fungicides and bactericides to prevent the mesh can be damaged too quickly by the attack of insects, fungi, bacteria or similar, given its use in outside

These treatments allow the mesh to have a useful life, that is to say from the moment of its application in the slope, approximately six months, supporting conveniently atmospheric agents and possible attacks of insects

An additional advantage of this mesh, as commented earlier, is that when it degrades it acts as fertilizer element (humus) due to the nature of the matter premium used for its manufacture.

It is also planned that the mesh can be treated with a flame retardant product, preventing the element constitutive of the fabric acts as fuel in case the area where the mesh is installed be affected by a fire.

Biodegradable tissue disposes as usual in conventional meshes of holes to allow vegetation growth through them. These Holes may have different shapes and / or sizes.

Finally it is noteworthy that the fabric mesh shaper can be made by any technique known textile that allows to obtain it (weaving, knitting / gender knitted, "rachel" methods, ...).

Once the nature of the invention is recorded for the appropriate purposes that in the the variations that are considered may be introduced timely, as long as this does not involve an alteration of the essential features of the invention claimed in continuation.
