Solar Shrink Mulch Film

Solar shrink Mulch film is a patented innovative mulch film that shrinks in the sun. It can be produced in a variety of colours, width, lengths and thickness

Solar Shrink Mulch film shrinks at low temperatures which means the film tightens as it is exposed to the sun

Solar Shrink Mulch film has the following properties

Tighter

Tightens on exposure to sunlight, hugging the growing bed preventing heat loss from the soil

Smarter

The shrinkage results in a drum tight sheet with no flapping or movement of the plastic in the wind. This ensures that hot air and moisture remain trapped in the soil under the sheet.

Seedlings are protected from dehydration with no escape of super-heated air and are protected from damage by rubbing of loose plastic.

Lighter

Lighter film allows for more meters per roll creating less downtime and faster application

Stronger

Our patented manufacturing process increase tensile properties of the mulch film. The film is manufactured on custom built machinery, which physically modifies the molecular structure of the sheet, vastly increasing its breaking strength and puncture resistance and building in shrinking stresses. Solar Shrink uses polymers designed to increase film toughness when made by the unique manufacturing process. These polymers, combined with chemically resistant UV light stabilizers and nano-particle sized carbon black, with no cheap fillers, ensure the sheet retains its strength for the entire season.

Greener

Solar Shrink Mulch film uses less plastic, fuel, labour and time.
