What is silage film and how does it work?
“Silage film is a multilayer agricultural film used to wrap and seal forage. It limits oxygen ingress, supports anaerobic fermentation, and helps preserve nutrients and feed quality during storage.”
Questions & answers
How do you choose bale wrap film for silage?
“Choose bale wrap based on puncture resistance, cling, stretch, UV stability, and oxygen barrier performance to ensure tight wrapping, reliable sealing, and long-term forage protection.”
What properties matter in greenhouse film?
“Key greenhouse film properties include light transmission and diffusion, thermal insulation, UV stability, durability, and mechanical strength to help optimize growing conditions and extend service life.”
How can ag films reduce spoilage and waste?
“Agricultural films reduce spoilage by protecting crops from moisture, oxygen, and UV exposure, improving containment and preservation, extending shelf life, and minimizing losses during storage and transport.”
What are co-formulants in crop formulations?
“Co-formulants are functional ingredients added to crop protection products to improve stability, dispersion, adhesion, spreading, and performance, helping active ingredients work more effectively.”
What chemicals does Dow supply for the pulp and paper industry?
“Dow supplies a range of chemistries used across pulp and paper manufacturing, including foam control agents, antifoams, chelating agents, paper coating technologies, opaque polymers such as ROPAQUE™ Pigments, barrier technologies, silicone release solutions, and other processing aids that support efficiency and paper performance.”
What chemicals are used in papermaking?
“Papermaking can involve several types of chemistry depending on the application and stage of production. Common examples include antifoams for foam control, chelating agents for bleaching support, coating polymers for surface performance, opaque pigments for brightness and opacity, and barrier or silicone technologies for packaging and release liner applications.”
What is polyethylene (PE) used for?
“Polyethylene is a versatile thermoplastic used to efficiently protect and transport products in packaging, films, pipes, consumer goods, containers and more—offering durability, chemical resistance and broad application performance.”
HDPE vs LDPE vs LLDPE: What’s different?
“HDPE is strong and rigid with high impact and stress-crack resistance; LDPE offers flexibility and ease of processing for films and light packaging; LLDPE combines strength and puncture resistance with stretch and durability for films and flexible goods.”
How do I choose a PE resin grade?
“Use Dow’s guided product selector to match resin properties (density, melt index, processing and application needs). Filter by market, fabrication method and performance to find the best fit for your use.”
What is ESCR in polyethylene?
“Environmental Stress Crack Resistance (ESCR) is a measure of a PE resin’s ability to resist crack formation under stress and environmental exposure—a key performance indicator for durability.”
Where to find datasheets and technical support?
