Buddy Tape

# W-BUDTAP

High-tech synthetic budding and grafting film. Has a unique formulation which allows for easy and fast application, reducing your labour costs, and allows for high grafting and budding success rates. The rolls are perforated (at either 50 or 70mm perforations) which saves hours in labour as no tying or removing is necessary as each length is sufficient for one graft.

Some unique points:

ELASTICITY: Buddy Tape can be stretched up to 8 times its original length. This allows small pieces to be used for the application and ensures a tight grip on the bud or graft. Elasticity also means that the tape expands as the plant grows.
SELF-ADHESION: Buddy Tape is not adhesive in its normal form but becomes self-adhesive when stretched. This allows quick application with no need for tying knots.
WATER-PROOFING: The film has a wax content to keep it waterproof, so the bud or graft will not dry out, but air can pass through the permeable tape allowing the bud to breathe. The wax content also means that use of Buddy Tape can eliminate the need for waxing in covered areas.

COMPLETE BUD COVER: Buddy Tape is pierced by the bud as it begins to grow, and because the permeable nature of the material allows the bud to breathe, the bud can be completely covered. This offers protection from infection and insects.

BIODEGRADABILITY: The tape biodegrades naturally in exposure to sunlight, eliminating labour costs necessary to cut away standard tapes after use, providing an environmentally responsible answer to the problem of waste.
