For sustainable slope and snow management
Particularly environmentally friendly and 100% biodegradable
Significantly delays the melting of glaciers and snow
Discover the stuff of sustainable winter dreams
Winter and ski tourism in Europe is particularly hard hit by the effects of climate change. Here, average temperatures during the season have recently increased by around 0.3 % every ten years. Today, experts assume that by 2050 the snow depth at medium altitudes will decrease by around 40 %. Therefore, the existence of numerous winter sports is threatened.
High time to do something about it – and preferably sustainably. Because climate change is also accompanied by a change in awareness: More and more ski tourists are aware of the importance of sustainability. Especially when it comes to sustainable slope and snow management…
The most important applications
from Naue GlacierProtect
Take the chance now and discover the stuff that sustainable winter dreams are made of: Naue GlacierProtect, made of Secutex® Green – an environmentally friendly and 100% biodegradable nonwoven from the family-run Naue GmbH & Co. KG, which has developed into one of the world’s leading manufacturers of geotextiles for a wide range of applications since it was founded over 50 years ago. This has immediate effect
when applied for glacier protection, snow farming or the protection of lift facilities
– especially effective in sensitive areas such as at the entrance and exit as well as at the lift masts, in order to secure the foundations that are often founded in the ice.
Gletscherschutz
Naue GlacierProtect protects sensitive glacier surfaces from further thawing and significantly delays glacier and snow melt. A test in the Austrian Alps results in a reduction of defrost by about 4 m in the three summer months of 2022
Snowfarming
Naue GlacierProtect is naturally resistant and therefore excellent field of snowfarming. And not least because of the very good UV resistance and the high UV reflectance values
Liftanlagenschutz
Naue GlacierProtect protects snow surfaces in an environmentally friendly way, even in sensitive areas such as at the entrance and exit as well as at the lift masts. Abrasion and residues are 100 % converted back into natural substances.
