XES® DualBond Net Wrap

XES® DualBond — A New Kind of Bale Net Wrap Strands twice as wide. Thermally bonded. No knit, no loops, no shedding. DualBond is a patented non-woven bale net wrap. Two HDPE strands, each roughly 2× the width of a knitted thread, fused at every cross point. See the full DualBond story → Three ways DualBond is built for the field EASY TO LOAD Lighter rolls, one-person change. 54–58 lb — no two-person swaps, no back strain. EASY TO BALE Smooth feed, clean cut. Non-woven grid feeds the knife clean. Same 3 wraps per bale as your current netwrap. EASY ON THE BALE No loose ends in your hay. Knitted wrap sheds frayed fiber into hay, then your cow. DualBond is thermal-bonded — nothing to fray. DualBond vs. Traditional Knitted XES DualBond Knitted Netwrap Construction Patented non-woven thermal-bonded grid Knit loops & joints Strand width 4 mm — full structural strand ~2 mm thin threads Roll weight (48″ × 9,840′) 55 lb — one-person change 70–85 lb Frayed fiber None — nothing to fray Loose ends shed into hay Plastic per bale Less — wider strands, no redundant loops More — weight tied up in the knit UV resistance Stronger — more stabilizer per sq. ft of exposed strand Less stabilizer per sq. ft Why heavier isn't stronger ⚠ A heavier knitted roll isn't more strength. It's redundant knit loops, thin threads, and waste fiber — with real costs: two-person swaps, more plastic in your feed, higher freight passed back to you. DualBond puts the strength in the strand: 20% lighter, with all of the weight doing structural work. What you get with DualBond Quick to load — lighter rolls, no helper, no back strain. Smooth feed — non-woven cuts clean at the knife. Clean release — pulls off in one piece, even frozen. No frayed fiber — nothing to fray. Stronger UV per sq. ft — more stabilizer per exposed strand. 12 months minimum. Less plastic per bale — wider strands, fewer of them.
