Polymeric thermal films for use in agricultureCM Patents

PURPOSE: A polymeric thermal film for use in agriculture is provided, which is highly opaque in the infrared region of the spectrum, without substantially interfering the transmission of the visible light necessary for the photosynthesis, thereby being used to cover for a green house or the soil. CONSTITUTION: The film comprises at least an 85% in weight of 85-99 wt% of a polyolefin; and 1-15 wt% of at least one compound (part A) selected from the group consisting of borates and borax stable to the treatment temperature, and at least one compound (part B) selected from the group consisting of silica, silicates, carbonates and sulfates. The ratio of the part A to the part B is 1:5 to 50:1 by weight. Preferably the polyolefin is polyethylene, a copolymer of ethylene and alkyl acrylate, a copolymer of ethylene and alkyl methacrylate, a poly(vinyl chloride) or their mixtures. Preferably the additive of the part A is zinc borate and the additive of the part B is a calcined kaolin or silica.
