Use Less Plastic,Gain More Protection

hero-agriculture-solar_shrink

Today’s growers must produce more food with fewer resources while acting as stewards of sustainability. Solar Shrink is a patented, premium-grade mulch film designed to find that balance.

Solar Shrink tightens to the growing bed when exposed to sunlight, improving moisture retention, weed suppression, and thermal support to help improve crop yields. Thinner and stronger than traditional mulch film, Solar Shrink supports environmental initiatives by reducing the amount of film needed to achieve the same or better results.

Solar Shrink is easy to install and remove, saving valuable time and effort. Solar Shrink lifts cleaner, resulting in a less contaminated film that can be recycled. Tailored variations of Solar Shrink cater to the unique needs of different crops and regions.

Solar Shrink isn’t just a product—it’s the solution for growers seeking process improvements and environmental stewardship.

Types of Solar Shrink

Solar Shrink: Engineered to tighten to the growing bed when exposed to sunlight, Solar Shrink gets tight and stays tight. This eliminates plastic billowing in the wind, protects seedlings and improves overall yield. With higher tensile and strength properties than competitive mulch films, Solar Shrink delivers superior performance with a 20% to 50% material reduction compared to conventional products.

Solar Shrink TIF: Fumigants are necessary in the growing process. That means it’s imperative we protect the drinking water, roadways, homes and schoolyards that fumigants may impact. Solar Shrink TIF has been engineered to have the highest fumigation efficacy in the market. Certified by the CA Department of Pesticide Regulations and the US EPA for the 60% Buffer Zone growing area credits, Solar Shrink TIF delivers a high barrier to keep fumigants where they are most effective — combating competitive weeds and pests.

Solar Shrink Sun Fume: Weeds, fungi, bacteria, and nematodes are constant problems during the growing season. Solar Shrink Sun Fume is a clear variant that utilizes the sun’s heat to control weed germination and prevent these common pests. Typically employed during summer, these films perform optimally in regions with hot and sunny weather for 1-2 consecutive months and daytime temperatures exceeding 75°F (24°C).
