What is grass film?
Grass film is a functional film that helps to retain the nutrients of plants such as grass, corn, grains, and vegetables, and prevents them from molding. This film can be used directly as packaging film for the aforementioned plants or made into bags before packaging, and it can also be used as a covering film for fresh grass, hay, and grains.
The current advanced silage technology is the wrapped silage technology. After shredding harvested corn stalks and fresh grass, they are tightly baled using a baler, and then wrapped with silage plastic stretch film, creating a sealed fermentation environment for the grass bales. Under anaerobic conditions, the biochemical process of lactic acid fermentation is completed in 3-6 weeks. The finished product has an increased crude protein content, a reduced pH value, and an increased soluble total sugar content, leading to a high livestock intake rate. As the leading packaging product for silage feed technology, grass film has been widely used in Europe, America, Australia, and other regions for over ten years with mature usage experience.
Advantages of grass film:
1. Low cost, quick results, and high comprehensive benefits.
2. High-quality silage feed. The good sealing of the stretch film wrapped around the silage improves the quality of the anaerobic fermentation environment, enhances the nutritional value of the feed, resulting in higher crude protein content, lower crude fiber content, higher digestibility, better palatability, and fragrant odor, significantly improving the quality and yield of livestock meat and milk.
3. Minimal loss and waste, greatly reducing mold loss and feeding loss. Traditional silage losses can reach 20%-30%.
4. Long storage and freshness period. The tightly packed sealing is not affected by season, sunlight, rainfall, and groundwater levels, allowing for outdoor storage for 2-3 years.
5. Convenient storage and easy feeding.
6. Environmentally friendly and pollution-free. Due to good sealing performance, there is no leakage of liquid. The packaging is appropriate, compact, and high in density, making it easy to transport and commercialize, ensuring a balanced supply and year-round use of modern livestock silage feed for large, medium, and small dairy farms, beef farms, goat farms, and livestock farmers.

Things to note when choosing grass film:
1. Choose a professional manufacturer for grass film! Grass film is not just stretch film + color masterbatch!
In recent years, with the continuous popularity of grass film, many stretch film manufacturers in China have turned to produce grass film due to the saturation of the stretch film market and thin profits. These manufacturers do not understand that true grass film is a special functional silage feed packaging film. It not only needs high light-blocking, anti-weathering, anti-aging, and UV resistance for long-term outdoor storage but also needs to provide a suitable sealed fermentation environment for silage feed packages! None of these can be achieved by stretch film factories, and the stretch performance of grass film is far superior to that of ordinary stretch film!
2. Not all grass films are the same!
Grass film needs to be stored outdoors for a long time, so the natural environment where it is used is closely related, especially the local seasons, light intensity, stretch performance, and humidity. This requires suppliers to adjust the color, formula, etc. of the grass film according to the user's situation, and of course, color is also related to the preferences and habits of the local users. Unprofessional so-called grass film manufacturers cannot achieve this at all.
3. Do not choose cast film for grass film!
Cast and blown film are two production processes for plastic films, each with its advantages, but for grass film, blown film is better!
1. Cast process requires high fluidity materials and has low strength.
2. Cast film has an uneven appearance, poor sealing, and is more noticeable when stored for a long time.
3. The low shrink strength of cast film results in poor wrapping force, causing excessive oxygen content in the grass pack, which is not conducive to fermentation.
4. The processing temperature of cast film is higher than that of blown film, causing a large amount of volatile polyolefins under high temperature, resulting in performance degradation and severe thermal oxidation, leading to unstable product quality.
5. The tension of cast film is difficult to control, causing roll-off phenomena, which become more apparent with long-term storage.
You should know that Germany is the birthplace of grass film, and cast film grass film has been completely phased out in Europe!
4. When choosing grass film, be sure to choose Salit grass film!
In China, there are only six manufacturers of professional grass film! Salit is one of them!
In China, only three companies produce grass film using blown film technology! Salit is one of them!!
