XES DualBond — Patented Bale Net Wrap

XES DualBond · Patented Non-Woven

Engineered lighter.
Built stronger.
Made simpler.

DualBond is a new kind of bale net wrap. Two strands. Twice as wide. Thermally fused at every cross point. No knit, no loops, no shedding.

DualBond net wrap structure — two wide HDPE strands thermally bonded at every cross point
Designed to bale better

Three ways DualBond is built for the field

Easy to load
Lighter rolls. One-person change.

DualBond rolls land at 54–58 lb — about 20–25% lighter than a typical knitted roll. No two-person swaps, no back strain.

Easy to bale
Smooth feed. Clean cut.

The non-woven grid feeds the knife clean. No loop-joints to snag. Same 3 wraps per bale as your current netwrap — or fewer once you trust it.

Easy on the bale
No loose ends in your hay.

Knitted wrap sheds frayed fiber — loose ends that end up in your hay, then your cow. DualBond is thermal-bonded. Nothing to fray.

Head to head

DualBond vs. Traditional Knitted Netwrap

XES DualBond Traditional 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 — 20–25% lighter 70–85 lb
Frayed fiber on the bale None — nothing to fray Loose ends shed into your hay — and your cow
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 Thin threads carry less stabilizer per sq. ft
Where the weight actually goes

A heavier knitted roll isn’t more strength.

Most of a knitted roll’s weight isn’t doing structural work.

For decades, farmers used roll weight as a stand-in for strength — because every brand used the same knitted construction. That math no longer holds. A traditional knitted roll spends most of its polymer on the knit itself, not on holding your bale. Here’s where the weight goes:

  1. 1Knit loops & jointsRequired by the knitting machine, not by your bale. Hundreds of feet of looped polymer per roll that contributes little to bale-holding strength.
  2. 2Redundant thin threadsKnitted fabrics need many fine threads to compensate for weak loop joints. Each thread is roughly half the width of a DualBond strand.
  3. 3Frayed fiber wasteLoose ends shed off the knit and end up in your hay, your feed, your soil — and eventually your cow’s rumen. Pure structural loss.

DualBond puts every gram into a structural strand. Two wide HDPE strands, fused at every cross point. No loops to add weight without strength. No fine threads to fray. The strength is in the strand — not in the count.

The patented design

Twice as wide.
Half the slack.

Traditional bale net wrap is knitted — thousands of fine threads, with most of the roll weight tied up in loops and joints that contribute little to bale-holding strength. DualBond removes the knit. Two HDPE strands, each roughly 4 mm wide, crossed perpendicular and thermally fused at every intersection. The strength is in the strand — not in the count.

How it’s built

Four steps. No knit. No loops. No shedding.

1
Wide strand

HDPE drawn into a 4 mm strand — about 2× the width of standard knit threads.

2
Perpendicular cross

Two strands cross at every intersection in a non-woven grid pattern.

3
Thermal bond

Each cross point is heat-welded. No knitting, no loops, no fraying.

4
Clean pull

Comes off the bale in one piece. Less plastic in your hay, your soil.

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 the bale in one piece, even frozen.
  • No frayed fiber — no loose ends in your hay, your feed, or your cow.
  • Stronger UV protection — more stabilizer per sq. ft of exposed strand than knitted wrap.
  • Less plastic per bale — wider strands, fewer of them.
