Mulch and plants in greenhouse

Mulch film  

With the global population expected to expand by an additional 2 billion people over the next 25 years, agricultural efficiencies are absolutely necessary to feed this increase in population. To meet this challenge, the newly introduced Exceed™ XP platform delivers eXtreme Performance advantages in highly demanding agricultural applications.

This extreme-performance polymer allows the development of new-to-the-world, cost-effective mulch film solutions. Agriculture films protect and preserve agricultural harvests through all types of weather. By maintaining integrity in demanding conditions, this prevents damage in the field and during handling, reducing the risk of waste and spoilage.

Applications and benefits

Long-lasting mulch films increase crop production rates and allows farmers to spend time on more productive activities rather than collecting mulch film that has broken down.

  • Extreme toughness improves the durability and reduces risk of waste and spoilage
  • Outstanding MD tear strength, resulting in enhanced durability of thin films
  • High melt strength, reducing the need for LDPE resin, which is detrimental to MD tear resistance/toughness
