SEAMLESS Underlayment Film

EXTRA PROTECTION FOR HALF THE PRICE

Have you ever wondered how some brands can market and sell their “oxygen barrier” for less than half the price of others?

The answer is simple: not all oxygen barrier products are created equal. Just become a product is marketed as an “oxygen barrier” doesn’t mean it provides the same level of oxygen protection.

There are only a few true oxygen barrier films available on the forage protection market – and understanding the difference matters when it comes to protecting your feed quality and investment.

TRUE Oxygen Barrier

This option must include an oxygen-blocking layer, such as EVOH or Nylon, designed to significantly reduce the transfer of oxygen into your silage pile. This is often the most costly feature of the film and one of the biggest indicators of what you are actually purchasing. Be sure to ask about the film’s OTR (Oxygen Transfer Rating) to confirm you are getting a TRUE Oxygen Barrier. To learn more about this option, please view our HytiDouble® 2-in-1 solution.

Underlayment Film

This option does NOT contain an oxygen-blocking layer, but it can still conform snug to the contours of your silage pile. These types of films are often marketed as an “Oxygen Barrier” and sold for a fraction of the price of a TRUE Oxygen Barrier.

Both options can mimic each other and conform snug to the contours of your pile, giving the impression that they are the same. In fact, they are often marketed as the same by suppliers. Be sure to ask about the OTR (Oxygen Transfer Rating) of the barrier you are considering.

Underlayment film is a great cost-saving, short-term solution for producers looking to add an extra layer of protection to their silage pile without the investment of a TRUE Oxygen Barrier. At KSI Supply, we offer this cost-saving option both as a single roll and as part of our HytiDouble® 2-in-1 solution.
