SILOSTOP

Orange is the original High Oxygen Barrier silage film. A lightweight, flexible and tough, single layer, 45 micron High Oxygen Barrier (HOB) film with an industry leading Oxygen Transmission rate (OTR) of below 1cm3/m2/24h.

Orange clings to the silage surface eliminating air pockets and reduces surface spoilage by restricting oxygen permeation, reducing the development of moulds and undesirable bacteria, including butyric acid bacterial spores in the peripheral areas of the clamp or bunker during the storage period. Trials have shown that High Oxygen Barrier (HOB) films reduce dry matter (DM) losses in the top layer of the clamp by 41% and reduce inedible DM by 73% compared to non oxygen barrier films.

Silostop Orange when combined with the Secure Covers Anti-UV netting generates 60% less plastic waste than conventional covering systems.
Orange is a single layer film that should be unrolled onto the silage surface as soon as the clamp or bunker is full. Where two separate films are joined there should be a 1.5m overlap. Orange should then be covered with the Secure Cover Anti-UV and gravel bags. The Anti UV net protects the Orange from UV light and bird and wildlife damage while holding it in place against the silage surface. Orange is available in a wide range of sizes and is fully recyclable.

The Silostop Anti-UV brings both UV stability and excellent physical protection into one product. A 210 gsm twill weave polypropylene cover that is used to protect the Silostop Orange silage film from degrading sunlight and environmental damage. Anti-UV cover are reusable with a 2000 Kly UV stability ensuring a long lifespan in all environments.

Anti-UV creates a UV barrier providing 100% shading for non UV stable silage films whilst also protecting films from bird and wildlife damage and holding them in place against the silage surface. When combined with Silostop Orange the complete system generates up to 60% less plastic waste than conventional covering systems.

Anti-UV is applied on top of Silostop Orange and weighted down with gravel bags around the perimeter and left to right across the clamp or bunker. Where two separate Covers join there should be a 1.5m overlap which should match the overlap of the Silostop Orange sheets below. This join should then be secured with a line of gravel bags. When removed Anti- UV Covers should be rolled and stored undercover away from direct sunlight.
