Technical Absorbents (TAL) will be displaying an array of innovative fibre and fabric technologies that aid efficient water management at the new biennial exhibition dedicated to horticulture – GreenTech.

The UK based Super Absorbent Fibre (SAF) manufacturer will join around 100 exhibitors at the inaugural event  that will be taking place from 10-12 June in Amsterdam. 

New possibilities

The event has been designed to revolve around three crucial themes: water, energy and bio-based. The company will be promoting its Agrotas range of SAF and converted fabrics, yarns and tapes, which are said to allow users to achieve optimum nurturing and growth conditions whilst effectively reducing overall water usage.

TAL’s unique superabsorbent technology creates new possibilities for the development of fabrics that can be used for short and long-term solutions, from hanging basket liners to commercial scale projects, even in areas of low water availability, according to the manufacturer.

Such fabrics are designed to achieve highly controlled delivery of water and nutrients to root systems, whilst significantly reducing evaporative loss and water seepage. SAF can also be dosed directly to the soil.

Offering solution

“We have developed a portfolio of products for this market,” commented Dave Hill, Technical Sales Manager. “From liner fabrics to durable fabrics that can be buried below the grounds surface, our super absorbent technology offers a solution for those looking to reduce water usage or have a need to ensure plants don’t dehydrate during transportation.

“Wherever there is a requirement to manage water and nutrient delivery in a controlled and environmentally safe way, we can help devise a solution. At Greentech we will have a team of development specialist’s on-hand to introduce visitors to our technology and meet about specific projects if required.”
