Weed barrier fabric mulch is a polypropylene geotextile product a texture like burlap. The woven fabric resists deterioration from exposure to sunlight. It is not plastic and will biodegrade... Weed barrier fabric eliminates vegetative competition with newly planted trees and shrubs by acting as a mulch. It conserves soil moisture by reducing evaporation. Water can penetrate weed barrier fabric, but sunlight cannot, so vegetation will not grow through it.

CONT

This outer wound carbon cartridge removes undesirable tasted, odors, sediment, discoloration and chemicals from water, hydrocarbon gases and other industrial fluids. It also provides organic removal from plating, acid and alkaline solutions. This economical carbon cartridge is actually three filters in one. It first provides filtration through an outer winding, then through a layer of activated granular carbon and finally through a 5 micron polishing inner winding. Choices of core materials and wound materials make Penguin’s Style GC cartridges a versatile and economical choice for all carbon filtration needs.
