Abstract

A polymer film, comprising at least one active layer made of a composition containing a polymeric substrate comprising at least one of the polyolefin polymer and polyamide 6, and a coniferous resin acid(s) dispersed in the polymeric substrate.

Claims (31)

1 . An agricultural film comprising at least one active layer made of a composition containing:

(a) a polymeric substrate comprising polyolefin polymer,

(b) at least one coniferous resin acid dispersed in the polymeric substrate, and

(c) one or more further polymer(s) for controlling the release rate of at least one coniferous resin acid(s), the one or more further polymer(s) selected from:

(i) polyamide,

(ii) inherently dissipative polymer (IDP),

(iii) polyethylene-block-amide (PEBA), and

(iv) polyether-polyamide block copolymer, wherein

the amount of the one or more further polymer is 1%-90%, by mass, based on the mass of the at least one active layer, for covering silage.

2 . The agricultural film as claimed in claim 1 , comprising arranging an active layer against the silage to be covered.

3 . The agricultural film as claimed in claim 1 , comprising encapsulating the silage to be covered.

4 . The agricultural film as claimed in claim 1 for covering a stack or a rick.

5 . An agricultural film comprising

at least one active layer made of a composition containing:

(a) a polymeric substrate comprising polyolefin polymer,

(b) at least one coniferous resin acid(s) dispersed in the polymeric substrate, and

(c) one or more further polymer(s) for controlling the release rate of the coniferous resin acid(s), the one or more further polymer(s) selected from:

(i) polyamide,

(ii) inherently dissipative polymer (IDP),

(iii) polyethylene-block-amide (PEBA), or

(iv) polyether-polyamide block copolymer, wherein

the amount of the one or more further polymer is 1%-90%, by mass, based on the mass of the at least one active layer, for covering growing plant(s).

6 . The agricultural film as claimed in claim 5 , comprising arranging an active layer against the growing plant to be covered.

7 . The agricultural film of claim 1 wherein the polyamide is polyamide 6.

8 . The agricultural film of claim 1 wherein the inherently dissipative polymer is polyethylene polyether copolymer.

9 . The agricultural film of claim 1 wherein the amount of the one or more further polymer is 5%- 40%, by mass, based on the mass of the at least one active layer.

10 . The agricultural film of claim 1 wherein the amount of the one or more further polymer is 10%- 30%, by mass, based on the mass of the at least one active layer.

11 . The agricultural film of claim 5 wherein the polyamide is polyamide 6.

12 . The agricultural film of claim 5 wherein the inherently dissipative polymer is polyethylene polyether copolymer.

13 . The agricultural film of claim 5 wherein the amount of the one or more further polymer is 5%- 40%, by mass, based on the mass of the at least one active layer.

14 . The agricultural film of claim 5 wherein the amount of the one or more further polymer is 10%-30%, by mass, based on the mass of the at least one active layer.
