CuTex is a geocomposite root barrier system, typically used in applications where a high and consistent level of performance is needed for protection against root intrusion, particularly from aggressive or invasive plants. Produced from high quality virgin polypropylene elements encapsulating a copper layer, CuTex is supplied in rolls of up to 5.2 meters wide and a variety of lengths. CuTex geocomposite is versatile, and may be used as a single layer or as part of a multilayered system according to design requirements. The copper acts as a signal layer that plants avert their growth from, meaning CuTex acts as a barrier to roots yet is highly permeable to water and nutrients. This combination of characteristics provides protection to utilities infrastructure and is beneficial in applications within containment engineering, hydraulic engineering and various other demanding civil engineering sectors.
