XES DualBond — Patented Bale Net Wrap
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.

Three ways DualBond is built for the field
DualBond rolls land at 54–58 lb — about 20–25% lighter than a typical knitted roll. No two-person swaps, no back strain.
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.
Knitted wrap sheds frayed fiber — loose ends that end up in your hay, then your cow. DualBond is thermal-bonded. Nothing to fray.
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 |
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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

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.
Four steps. No knit. No loops. No shedding.
HDPE drawn into a 4 mm strand — about 2× the width of standard knit threads.
Two strands cross at every intersection in a non-woven grid pattern.
Each cross point is heat-welded. No knitting, no loops, no fraying.
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.
