Product catalog summary
Overview: Regupol® Growth-Inhibiting Mats are designed to prevent unwanted vegetation without the use of herbicides or frequent mowing. These mats block UV light, inhibiting plant growth while allowing water permeability to preserve soil life and prevent erosion. They are durable and resistant to rotting.

Applications:
  • Railways: Used on high-speed tracks and maintenance paths, reducing the need for track closures for mowing.
  • Fences: Can be installed under fences to prevent vegetation growth, with special sealing for joints.
  • Airports: Used around navigation lights and signs to reduce maintenance and bird attraction.
  • Solar Fields: Prevents plant growth under solar collectors, reducing performance loss and allowing land reuse.
  • Other Areas: Suitable for high-security areas, transmitter systems, transformer stations, roadworks, private gardens, and more.
