Advantages in detail
All the benefits of wire, none of its problems
AGROPET® is a high-tenacity polyester (PET) monofilament that replaces galvanized wire in any agricultural support structure. Here is what your operation gains by making the switch.
01 · Strong and long-lasting
No rust, no breakage in outdoor conditions
- Corrosion-proof: unaffected by fertilizers, crop-protection chemicals or salt-laden air — unlike galvanized wire.
- Climate-stable: UV-stabilized and rated from −40 °C to +70 °C, with none of the thermal expansion found in metal.
- Years of maintenance-free use: no need to replace corroded lines; the polyester holds its tension season after season.
- 100% recyclable at the end of its service life.
02 · Fast and easy to install
Same tools, no gloves needed, no cuts
- Hand-knotted and tensioned with standard gripples, pulleys and strainers: no new machinery required.
- 5× lighter than steel wire: lower freight costs, less weight at height and reduced operator fatigue.
- No cuts to hands during handling, significantly reducing the risk of injury on the job.
- Recommended installation tension: 1% of the line length (1.5 m on a 150 m run).
03 · Safe and cost-effective
No electrical hazard and better ROI
- Electrically non-conductive: carries no current, eliminating electrical risk to people and crops.
- No staining or damage to fruit or hands — critical for premium-quality produce.
- Short- and long-term savings: fewer replacements, lower labour costs and a longer structural service life.
