Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document discusses the importance of using Totally Impermeable Film (TIF™) as the industry transitions away from methyl bromide for controlling weeds, pests, and diseases. VaporSafe® fumigation film is highlighted as a superior option for both broadcast and row mulch applications due to its low Mass Transfer Coefficient (MTC), which indicates better fumigant retention.
Specifications
VaporSafe® is a seven-layer co-extruded barrier film made from flexible high-strength polyethylene and an EVOH barrier resin core. It is available in various colors and is designed to maximize field performance by retaining 10 times more fumigant than the best Very Impermeable Film (VIF).
Proven Performance
Research shows that VaporSafe® can reduce fumigant rates by 10% to 50% while maintaining efficacy, offering improved control of fungal diseases and weeds compared to VIF. The film's design ensures exceptional tear, puncture, and impact resistance, along with UV stabilization for longevity.
Benefits of TIF
  • Maximizes fumigant efficacy
  • Reduces bystander exposure and VOC emissions
  • Exceeds EPA and CDPR standards
  • Allows for reduced fumigant rates without efficacy loss
  • Provides high concentration over time (CT Values)
  • Reduces or eliminates odors
Buffer Zone Impact
Using VaporSafe® can significantly decrease EPA buffer zones by 60%, allowing for more planting acres and optimizing buffer zones with reduced application rates.
Research Data
The document includes a table showing the effect of Pic-Clor 60 retention on weed incidence and yield, demonstrating the superior performance of TIF over standard films in various metrics such as weed densities, seed viability, and fruit yield.
Conclusion
VaporSafe® is presented as the best fumigation film on the market, offering significant advantages in terms of efficacy, environmental impact, and economic benefits.

FUMIGATION BARRIER Maximize Field Performance “It all comes down to the film” 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® fumigation film is proven to Row Mulch Application be the ultimate fumigation film in both the Broadcast Application broadcast and row mulch applications. IMPORTANCE OF LOWERING THE MTC The MTC (Mass Transfer Coefficient) is used to identify the fumigant retention capability of the film. Basically, the lower the MTC, the better the film efficacy. VaporSafe® TIF™ is a unique seven layer coextruded barrier 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. VaporSafe® is available in clear, white/ black, black and other colors as required.

The Value of VaporSafe® Proven Performance 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® (TIF™), while maintaining ecacy. This reduced rate also provides improved control of fungal disease and weeds when compared to VIF (very impermeable film) at a much higher application rate while still maintaining or improving yields. VaporSafe’s 7-layer UV stabilized design incorporates ultimate barrier performance...
