Sotrafilms range are multilayer co-extrusion films, manufactured in base to LDPE, LLDPE (lineal) or both, and different thicknesses depending on the application required.

Mulching technique is designed to protect crops and soil against damaging atmospheric agents, which can dry the ground, cause crop and fruit deterioration and rid the earth of useful nutrients, necessary for the development of plants.

Characteristics

  • Excellent mechanical properties and resistance to tearing.

  • Gives higher yields and earlier crops.

  • Sotrafilm range could be available with anti-condensation agents, plantation frames and/or perforation (micro/macroperforation)

  • Sotrafilm range could be used inside or outside the greenhouse, with extra additives, giving an optimum performance against external conditions such as wind, rain, hail, etc…

New generation of mulch films: SOLAR SHRINK®

New thinner, solar shrinkable mulch revolutionizes the agricultural market

Solar Shrink film (with technology developed by Solar Shrink Pty Ltd) is thinner (up to 50%), stronger and tighter than traditional mulches. It shrinks permanently when exposed to sunlight, adapting to the contours of the soil bed and improving soil warming and moisture retention. In addition, its laying process is very efficient, covering more areas with ease.
