Questions and answers

Tips and information about our agricultural stretch films:

Agricultural stretch film is used to wrap pressed bales gastight and thus to preserve them long term. Unique adhesive properties, premium raw materials and high UV-stability characterize high-quality wrapping films. You can find out everything else about stretch films in the following FAQs.

What is agricultural stretch film?

Agricultural stretch film or wrapping film is an extremely thin film that can be used to preserve pressed bales. It typically has 25 μm, is very stretchy, tear-resistant and has several layers containing various additives such as special adhesives or UV stabilizers.

Who needs agricultural stretch film and when should stretch film be used?

Agricultural stretch films are usually required by farmers and contractors to protect pressed silo bales (round or square bales) and to enable the fermentation process by excluding air. In principle, this process is similar to that in clamp silos. The end result is high-quality forage. Silage bales are an ideal addition to the silo if you need smaller portions of silage that you need to access quickly or if you want to ensile smaller areas as well as smaller harvest quantities. In addition, silo bales can be flexibly stored at different locations.

Where are agricultural stretch films used?

Agricultural stretch films are used in the agricultural sector of professional and modern bale wrapping silage.

Which wrapping film is the best?

Depending on the purpose and location, each of our agricultural stretch films has its advantages. The color also plays a part. Here our customers can choose from a wide range! The emphasize is on our PASSION wrapping films "agrifol® lemon®" and "lavanda® DLG".

Why and what is agricultural stretch film used for?

Agricultural stretch films are used to wrap pressed hay and grass bales gastight thus preserving them long term. This protects them from spoilage and mold and therefore preserves the important nutrients of the valuable silage.

Where to buy agricultural stretch film?

You can buy Zill agricultural stretch film from all specialized dealers. Our wrapping films are available there in large quantities in several versions and sizes.

Why are agricultural stretch films useful?

If you want to produce silage in smaller portions - also as an alternative to the clamp silo - you need agricultural stretch film. This stretch-wraps the pressed bales and seals them airtight to start the ensiling process. Due to the UV stabilizers, the wrapped silo bales can be stored outdoors for at least a year. We also have stretch films that are UV stable for at least 15 months!

How much does wrapping foil cost?

Wrapping film is available at various prices. It depends on the length, width and technical properties of the stretch film. Your local dealer can tell you the exact prices.

What agricultural stretch films are there and in which colors are they available?

The following Zill agricultural stretch films are available:

  • Zill PASSION: Lavender-lilac → lavanda® DLG
  • Zill PASSION: Lemon-green → agrifol® lemon®
  • Light-blue → PolyStretch® Blu
  • Dark-green → PolyStretch®
  • Light-green → agrifol®

With how many layers should a bale be wrapped?

We recommend wrapping at least 6 layers. With a dry matter content of more than 50% or for a longer storage period, additional film layers are required.

Advantages of our stretch films:

  • Multilayer-technology
  • Best adhesive properties
  • Premium raw materials
  • Very robust and excellent tear resistance
  • Highly UV stable
  • Low noise property of agrifol

What types of stretch film are there? Difference between casting and blowing processes.

In general, stretch films are produced using two different manufacturing techniques, the blown film process and the cast process. In the blown film process, the various melting layers are implemented and layered. The melt then exits through a ring nozzle and is led to the ceiling of the production facility, where it is cooled with air from inside and outside. On the other hand, in the casting process, the plastic melt is distributed in the wide slot nozzle and exits at the nozzle gap, where the melt is then immediately poured onto a cooling roll and instantly cooled there.

Basically, the blown film process is the better manufacturing process, as the film has better stretch, tear and puncture properties due to the more evenly aligned longitudinal and transverse direction of the molecular chains and can therefore withstand greater strain than a cast film.

Zill agricultural stretch films are manufactured exclusively using the blown film process and thus offer the best possible performance on every machine.

Which adhesive methods are there for agricultural stretch films?

On one hand there are stretch films in which the adhesive is applied to the film and on the other hand there are stretch films in which the adhesive is incorporated in the film and is released by the stretching process or stretching.

Both variants each have their advantages.

For example, the stretch films with integrated adhesive are significantly quieter when unrolling and leave no adhesive residue on the rollers.

Which width is the right one?

In general, we offer two different widths, 0.5 m and 0.75 m. Which of these is the right one depends on the winding machine used.

What film thicknesses are there for agricultural stretch films?

Zill agricultural stretch films are typically 25 μm.

What other names are there for agricultural stretch film?

Wrapping film, stretch film, agricultural wrapping film, wrapping film (for) round bales, round bale wrapping film, bale film, bale wrapping film, wrapping film for square bales
