Raven VaporSafe™ is a unique seven layer co-extruded barrier fumigation film made from very flexible high strength polyethylene and an inner core of gas impermeable EVOH barrier resin. VaporSafe™ soil fumigation barriers bring leading TIF film technology into a common sense approach to success. As the industry moves away from methyl bromide used to control weeds, pests and diseases, the need for a totally impermeable film (TIF) has become a necessity. VaporSafe™ (TIF) fumigation films provide proven performance results for both broadcast and row mulch applications. Extensive research has been conducted on VaporSafe™ fumigation barrier to assure growers repeatable and reliable performance. Results indicate that fumigant rates based on gallons per acre may be reduced by as much as 10% to 50% under VaporSafe™ while still maintaining efficacy and yields. EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) buffer zones can be significantly decreased by utilizing a TIF Film to regain valuable planting acres. VaporSafe™ lowers the EPA Buffer Zone restrictions by an impressive 60% over standard films. Utilizing VaporSafe™ (TIF) can maximize production acres significantly impacting your overall bottom line.
