Abstract: A covering system for silage preparation. The covering system (1) includes at least one underlay film (2), which rests on the surface of a feedstuff (6). The underlay film (2) has an oxygen barrier layer (3). At least 50 wt % of the oxygen barrier layer (3) is formed of one or more material/s from the group including polyamide, co-polyamide, polyester, co-polyester, polyethylene, ethylene vinyl alcohol, polyvinyl alcohol, or mixtures thereof. The underlay film (2) also has an inner protective layer (4) facing the silage.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of increasing the tear resistance of a multi-layered film. This multi-layered film includes at least one barrier arrangement that has a total thickness for reducing gas permeability. According to the invention, the barrier arrangement is divided into at least two layers, to increase tear resistance.

Abstract: An additive mixture containing (A) at least one high molecular weight triazine compound, for example a compound of the formula (I-1-a) wherein n is a number from 1 to 10, and (B) at least one heat reflecting interference pigment.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a greenhouse arrangement comprising a framework and a system for thermicity improvement. The system for thermicity improvement comprises at least one film. The film is spread over and/or connected directly and/or indirectly to the framework. The film comprises an additive suitable for enhancing the thermicity of the film. Said additive comprises an alkyl phosphonic acid or derivatives thereof. Said film has a transmission of IR of lower than 40% especially lower than 25%.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a multilayered sheet comprising a core layer comprising a thermoplastic polymer and an IR absorbing additive; a first cap layer comprising a thermoplastic polymer and an electromagnetic radiation absorbing additive; wherein a surface of the first cap layer is disposed upon and in intimate contact with a surface of the core layer. Disclosed herein too is a method for manufacturing a multilayered sheet comprising melt blending a composition comprising a thermoplastic polymer and an IR absorbing additive to produce a core layer; melt blending a composition comprising a thermoplastic polymer and an ultraviolet radiation absorber to produce a first cap layer; combining the core layer with the first cap layer in such a manner that the cap layer is disposed upon and in intimate contact with a surface of the core layer.
