Total divides its offer for the Agriculture & Industry sector into four major groups: Greenhouse Film, Silage sheet & Stretch, Load protection & pallet wrapping and High performance carbon nanotubes (CNT) compounds.
Greenhouse Film
Lumicene Supertough® and EVA, the ideal combination for greenhouse film
The characteristics and requirements for greenhouses are increasingly demanding. The customer demands an increasingly durable product and more efficient for plants growth, while reducing time and waste to the minimum.
For this type of solutions, Total presents Lumicene Supertough® and EVA, two high quality options. With an excellent processing capacity and exceptional mechanical properties, Lumicene Supertough® and EVA are the ideal combination to simplify film structures and facilitate material supply.

Silage sheet & stretch
Lumicene® & EVA, for thinner but better silage stretch
In order to ensure a correct fermentation process and conservation of the bales, Silage stretch needs to protect the foodstuff. Total Lumicene® combines good mechanical properties with a stretch capacity adaptable to customer requirements. This allows optimal performance of the stretch silage.

Lumicene Supertough® is also an ideal booster of recycled PE for silage sheets, and along with Total wide range of EVA (which allows to accomplish the correct cling effect around the bales, achieving a maximum adaptation to the desired result), are two exceptional choices for silage sheet & stretch.
Load protection and pallet wrapping
Lumicene Supertough®, the ideal booster for Stretch wrap and stretch hood
To produce a stretch hood film capable of ensuring the safe transport of your pallet, Total’s EVA and Lumicene® range are the ideal products. The 5 layer stretch hood, including Lumicene Supertough® in the core layer, allows the holding force to be increased by up to 15%, as well as to reduce the material waste.
