Polypropylene
Polypropylene – an environmentally sound base product
KRONE excellent Twine:
Twines are usually based on synthetic polypropylene,
which is derived from crude oil. The retail price of polypropylene is down to a variety of factors, including the current
crude oil price, the current capacity of utilization of the raw
material manufacturer and the overall market demand.
Friendly to the environment
KRONE twines are food grade and environmentally friendly.
In addition, a special stabilizing process makes the twine very
resistant to UV and weather exposure. The color of the twine
affects neither its quality or its ecological compatibility. After
3 to 4 years of outdoor storage, the twine begins to decay
without leaving residues or releasing toxins.

How can you tell a twine is good quality?
Background information on markets and products
Baler twine is marketed by two types of manufacturers. One one hand,
there are farm machinery manufacturers who market original baler twine
that is made for their own machinery and offers the most dependable
performance and optimum results. On the other hand, there are manufacturers who are not farm machinery manufacturers and who market
these consumables under separate labels.
Consider the following aspects when buying twine:
The strain is highest in the knot. If knot strength is low, the twine will
A high-quality twine will hold - even on high-density bales.
most likely tear here.
Knot strength
Knot strength expresses the knot’s strength to resist force (expressed in
lbf) before it tears. On the baler, the twine is worked hardest in the knot,
which is due to the knotting process. Therefore, this is the area that is
most susceptible to tearing. In practice, standard knot strength today is
approx. 480 lbf; the KRONE excellent twines offer knot strengths of 550
lbf (MultiBale) to 700 lbf (HDP X-treme).
Resistance to tearing
The higher the claimed resistance to tearing, the higher the overall twine
stability and strength. Ordinary twines with a low resistance to tearing
are often unable to hold high bale densities. KRONE excellent Twine HDP
X-treme offers a resistance of 700 lbf which makes it one of the strongest twines in the market.
As you untwist the twine, you see that the strands are actually treated
film tape.
Optimum fibrillation ensures tight knots
Fibrillation is a separate step within the production process, where the
twine is spun from film tape after this received special treatment. Best
possible fibrillation produces very robust twine and tight knotting.

Ideal spooling
Baler twine should unroll easily and uniformly. Daily checks on the spooling process assure KRONE excellent twine performs absolutely troublefree inside the baler.

net wrap
Crude oil

Manufacturing and pricing of net wraps in general
Net wrap is made of polyethylene, which is derived
from crude oil. Crude oil prices are very volatile and
this accounts for the price fluctuations of net wrap.
When comparing prices, you should compare
prices per bale rather than prices per roll.

Chemical raw materials
Production
The high-density polyethylene granules are heated in
an extruder until molten. Then the material is blown
through a jet and into a bubble shape.
Once cooled, the film is wound onto rolls and then
cut into thin tapes. These tapes are stretched and fed
to looms where they are manufactured into KRONE
excellent net wrap, following a unique and patented
process. At the end of this step, the finished net is
rolled into rolls of different lengths.

Properties of a high-performing net wrap

Additional qualities are:
Smooth unrolling and guaranteed length:
KRONE excellent nets is uniform and therefore unrolls trouble-free and smoothly to deliver the guaranteed number of metres
on the roll. You can easily verify the actual metres on the roll. By figuring out how many bales a roll will yield and then compare this result with the number of bales you actually wrapped in the field.
End marking:
All excellent net wrap features a green end marking that
visibly indcates to the operator on the last 230‘ of the roll is
approaching.
UV-stability:
UV-stability is important when storing bales outside. KRONE
excellent net wrap benefits from a special coating that offers
UV-protection for up to one year.
Left / right marking:
Clear marking identifies the left and right side of the net roll
allowing easier and safer loading. It identifies which way the
net will unroll so the roll is loaded correctly every time.
KRONE excellent Edge net ends interlace perfectly
Interlacing net ends:
The ends of a net should interlace properly rather than
hanging loose. If ends interlace well, interlacing of the individual
layers will also be better. This way it save on wraps and get
more bales from one roll of net wrap.
This is an ordinary net with poor interlacing
