  • Method for protecting plants using polymeric film containing anhydrous borax
    Patent number: 4651467
    Abstract: Polymeric compositions particularly suitable for agricultural purposes are disclosed. These compositions contain at least 80% of either a polyolefin such as polyethylene or a copolymer of ethylene. A 0.5-15% additive containing the bond boron-oxygen such as anhydrous borax imparts a desirable opacity to these polymers in the high wavelength infra-red region of the spectrum, while not substantially interfering with the visible light necessary for photosynthesis.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 11, 1984
    Date of Patent: March 24, 1987
    Assignee: Alcudia, Empresa para la Industria Quimica, S.A.
    Inventors: Graciano J. Tapia, Oscar G. Martinez
