Plastic products have gained a significant role in modern agriculture.
The development of advanced technologies in the production of plastic products both in Israel and worldwide has elevated agriculture to a very high level of achievement. Polyethylene is one of the plastics used to produce films for agricultural purposes. These polyethylene films have been improved with advanced manufacturing technologies, expanding their use to many areas. Polyethylene films allow for a vast expansion of crop areas beyond their natural growing regions and seasons. These films offer numerous advantages: they are lightweight, relatively inexpensive compared to other coverings, flexible, transparent or opaque as needed, easy to handle, resistant to harsh weather conditions and chemicals, and they help save water and energy while contributing to increased yields.
The professional team at Ginegar Plastic Products has been in the field since 1972, developing sophisticated agricultural films in collaboration with farmers, instructors, and researchers in Israel and around the world. By utilizing advanced technologies, including the production of multi-layered sheets, they have developed agricultural sheets recognized as world-leading.
Ginegar films are manufactured according to the specific needs of the farmer—for different crops in different regions. Each type of film is specially tailored to a specific use, providing the farmer with an advantage.
Ginegar films for greenhouse coverings and ground mulching are multi-layered films produced through a process called coextrusion. The greenhouse coverings are produced using a sophisticated extruder capable of processing different materials simultaneously, thereby significantly improving the films' properties, such as high mechanical strength and particularly smooth surfaces.
This manufacturing technology allows for the optimal integration and distribution of additives across different layers without interfering with each other's effectiveness, resulting in better and longer-lasting additive performance
