Black and white film: why two colours

Black and white film has two layers: the white one reflects the sun and the black one blocks light. That lets it do jobs plain black film can't.

Why it beats plain black film

Black film gets very hot in the sun, so the soil, feed or load underneath overheats. The white layer reflects the rays, keeping it cooler underneath while still blocking light.

Where it's used

• Mulching: weeds don't grow under it, moisture stays in and roots don't overheat.
• Silage and feed: without light and air the feed doesn't spoil, and the white layer prevents overheating.
• Covering loads and pallets outdoors.
• Dividing and shading greenhouses.

Which thickness

• 80⁠–⁠100 µm — mulch for one season.
• 120⁠–⁠150 µm — covering silage and loads.
• 180⁠–⁠200 µm — long⁠-⁠term outdoor use.

Lay the film white side up towards the sun — otherwise it works like plain black film.
