TDPA™ mulch films can be customized in accordance to the growing climate, weather conditions, and crop growing cycle. One of the main challenges affecting the useful life of mulch films is premature degradation due to photo-oxidation. This can be addressed by using customized TDPA™ masterbatches in which UV stabilizer has been included; the customized masterbatch can take into consideration the desired film life, degradation requirements, and environmental conditions of the growing area.
