6 years experience with X-Treme bags – comparison

Development in right direction

	9‘ x 75m Standard	9‘ x 75m X-Treme
thickness	215 µm	170 µm	-21 %
weight/bag	133 kg	105 kg	–21 %
bags/palet	8 pcs.	10 pcs.	+25 %
carbon footprint	100 %	73 %	-27 %
tensile strength at break MD/TD	35/35 MPa	40/40 MPa
elongation at break MD/TD	600 % / 700 %	600 % / 700 %
tear resistance	12 gf/mic.	15 gf/mic.
impact resistance (dart drop)	1.700 gr.	1.300 gr.
advantages	slightly higher properties	better handling
	30 years of experience	lreduction allows longer bags
		reduced freight costs/bag
		slightly lower properties
		6 years of experience

Conclusion: both bags can be used for all kind of feed and grain. Initial reservations about the thickness-reduced X-Treme bags disappeared quickly due to best practical use.
