Company Overview

The company specializes in the extrusion of thermoplastic polymers, focusing on continuous production growth through investments in technology and logistics. It serves multiple sectors including hardware, garden, household, and packaging industries.

Biodegradable Plastic Products

Since 2008, the company produces biodegradable plastic tubes and ties for agricultural use, made from bioplastics certified under EN 1406:2003 and ISO 14855-1:2005. These products naturally decompose in soil within 4 months to 4 years depending on thickness. Customers receive certification documentation upon purchase.

• Non-toxic, high-quality raw materials without recycled content.
• Products vary in hardness, breaking load, elongation, hardening temperature, specific weight, and length per weight.
• Elasticity designed to protect plants and promote growth.

Product Range and Packaging

The product portfolio includes biodegradable tubes, twist ties, flat tapes, plastic-covered wires, and paper-based biodegradable ties. Packaging options include skeins, coils, rolls, cut lengths, and bags, with customizable diameters and weights available.

• Tubetto (Tubes): Used for plant tying, greenhouse anchoring, and drip irrigation; available in various diameters and colors.
• Fettuccia (Flat Tapes): Used for fastening polyethylene, wooden greenhouses, plant tying, and grafting.
• Filo Ricoperto (Plastic Covered Wire): Offered in biodegradable and standard versions, compatible with manual and automatic tying machines.
• Piattina Carta and Filo Carta Ritorto (Paper Tape and Twisted Paper Wire): Fully biodegradable, recommended for packaging and agricultural use, providing softness for ease of handling.

Technical Specifications and Standards

All products comply with relevant European and international biodegradable material standards. Technical and safety data sheets are available to detail material properties. Estimated lengths per kilogram are provided for each product and diameter, varying by packaging type.

Packaging and Accessories

Specialized containers and holders support automatic tying machines and storage of coils, skeins, and rolls, ensuring ease of use and product integrity.

Critical Information and Best Practices

• Biodegradable products should be left in the field to decompose naturally; landfill disposal is discouraged.
• Product elasticity and softness prevent plant damage and reduce user fatigue.
• Full documentation certifying biodegradability and quality is provided with purchases.
• Custom diameters, weights, and packaging options are available to meet specific customer requirements.

• Climbing Plant Nets: White nets for supporting climbing plants, available in cut lengths and rolls.
• Non-Woven Fabric (TNT): White rolls, sheets, caps, and tubular forms to protect plants from temperature extremes.
• Shading Nets: Available in 30%, 50%, 75%, and 90% shading; reinforced eyelets every 10 cm; made from polyethylene or polypropylene with UV stabilization; dimensional tolerances apply.
• Anti-Hail Nets: Various weights and colors for olive cultivation and other uses; reinforced eyelets and mesh design prevent damage.
• Olive Harvesting Nets: High-density UV-stabilized polyethylene monofilament; designed for flat terrain; features to prevent curling and facilitate dragging; reinforced eyelets every 2 meters.

Key Technical and Usage Notes

• Dimensional tolerances: ±4% for size, ±5% for weight.
• Heat exposure above 90-100°C can cause shrinkage; storage should avoid sun exposure, especially when packed.
• Reinforced eyelets enhance durability and secure anchoring without weakening fabric.
• Products are suitable for agricultural, packaging, and decorative applications; some are food contact certified.
• Custom sizes and packaging options are available upon request.

Best Practices and Recommendations

• Use manual binders and cutting tools for efficient plant tying after pruning.
• Store nets and fabrics in shaded, cool environments to prevent heat damage and dimensional changes.
• Utilize reinforced eyelets for secure installation and to prevent fabric damage.
• Select shading nets based on crop and environmental requirements.
• Prefer biodegradable and natural raffia for environmentally friendly agriculture.
• Apply mulching sheets to control weed growth effectively.
• Use anti-rodent and bird protection nets to safeguard plants and fruits from pests.

Net Installation and Features

Nets are designed to be fixed and stretched across the ground, with eyelets every 2 meters to maintain straightness and prevent creasing, a common issue with similar materials.
