Our bale wrap films are produced to differing blends to suit the various global climates. It is important that film is purchased only from our appointed agent in any particular country to ensure that it is the correct film for use in that country.
For example, the blend developed for the Northern European market, where ultraviolet (UV) radiation levels are low, will withstand up to 80 kilolangleys of UV radiation whereas the blend produced for countries in the Southern Hemisphere, where UV levels are high, will withstand up to 180 kilolangleys.
In low UV countries, our films are intended for use between 55% and 75% prestretch (maximum 65% on big square bales). In extreme temperatures or where UV levels are high, some users prefer to reduce pre-stretch to around 55%.
