Additional Information

Advantages of using Blue Mulch
• Our embossed plastic lays extremely well with very few machine adjustments.  You can lay it at higher speeds.
• Our embossed plastic has superior elasticity with a built in memory that hugs the bed tighter than smooth or cold post embossed films.  
  This material will not flop in the wind.
• This hot cast film is extremely strong and elastic in all directions.  In turn it sticks to the bed and will not allow heat to escape.
• Our embossed is more opaque than like gauges of blown or smooth films.  This translates into better weed suppression and more evenly dispersed temperature control.
• This material has a superior field life and is easy to pick up at the end of the season.
