Materials for Silage Film Structures

Silage films require materials capable of combining mechanical strength, puncture resistance, and effective oxygen barrier performance. Different polymer compositions provide distinct balances between durability and gas transmission characteristics.

UBE NYLON^® offers several grades for these applications, including both standard and functional polyamide solutions. Comparative data from 50 µm monolayer airblown films highlights differences in tensile behaviour, puncture resistance, and oxygen transmission performance.

The evaluated PA6/6.6 grade exhibits higher tensile strength and elongation than LDPE. The comparison also shows a puncture energy value of 31 mJ for PA6/6.6, compared with 4.5 mJ for LDPE.

Oxygen transmission values decrease from 3000 ml/m²·day for LDPE to 30 ml/m²·day for PA6/6.6 under the evaluated conditions.
