Exceed ™ X XP enables the manufacture of highly damaging, large-diameter tarps, as well as agricultural films and silage films. These tough films offer outstanding mechanical properties and excellent aging properties to provide a durable solution Film formulations are easily customizable to meet seasonal and climatic conditions Thanks to the wide processing window for different extrusion equipment, Extech ™ XP can handle changing manufacturing conditions while providing excellent bubble stability , In order to achieve a stable, worry-free operation.
Enablene ™ high performance polymers are high performance resins that combine processability and mechanical properties to meet the demands of the market for large format films. With EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer) films and Manufacturers of EVA film with EVA can reduce the film thickness by 20%, thus saving raw materials, reducing film inventory, shipping costs and unit cost. Five layers of Polyolefin Greenhouse film based on Enable ™ and EVA Reduces energy consumption and enables more sustainable solutions by reducing drop and anti-fogging capabilities from one year to three years. Enablem ™ also provides excellent optical performance that can rapidly increase greenhouse temperatures, Thereby increasing production, listing early, to achieve revenue.
