Silage stretch film
Our Silage Stretch Film has an excellent cling and very high puncture resistance to help in reducing spoilage of your silage and helps in keeping the permeability of water and oxygen very low. Our silage stretch film has high load retention to keep the shape of the bale intact during the life of the bale.
- Good Mechanical Properties i.e. Tensile Strength and Puncture Resistance
- High level of tack
- Stabilized for protection against the damage caused by sunlight, notably UV light
- Low Oxygen and Water Permeability.
Silage and silo bag films
We produce silage films that are extremely damage resistant using high performance polymers. The toughness performance helps prevent damage in the field and during handling to maintain integrity in applications such as silage stretch wrap and silage cover films.
Silo bag made with our films deliver the extreme toughness, tear and puncture resistance required to store and protect grains and silage, while providing opportunities to downgauge and reduce costs.
Advanced silage stretch, silage cover and silo bag film solutions are made possible today Mico’s high performance films.
Benefits of Silage Film
- Nutrient Preservation: Silage film restricts air exposure, preventing unwanted aerobic bacteria from degrading the forage. This ensures your animals receive feed rich in vitamins, carotene, and other essential nutrients.
- Reduced Spoilage: Airtight seals minimize moisture loss and prevent mold growth, significantly reducing spoilage and waste. This translates to substantial cost savings for your farm.
- Durability and Protection: Silage films are designed to withstand harsh weather conditions. They are resistant to punctures, tears, and UV rays, safeguarding your valuable silage throughout storage.
- Improved Animal Health: High-quality silage contributes to better animal health and performance. By preserving vital nutrients, silage film helps maintain strong immune systems and promotes optimal weight gain and milk production.
Applications of Silage Film
- Bale Wrap: Silage film is primarily used to securely wrap around round bales of silage crops. The stretchiness of the film creates a tight seal, ensuring an oxygen-depleted environment for proper fermentation.
- Clamp Covers: Large silage piles stored in bunker silos can also benefit from silage film covers. These custom-sized tarps offer an extra layer of protection against moisture ingress and air infiltration.
- Silage Bags: An alternative storage method involves using specialized silage bags. These large, tubular bags are filled with chopped forage and then sealed with silage film to create an airtight environment.
