Tape for grafting and budding - Buddy tape

Buddy Tape is an innovative tape for budding and grafting devised with a unique formulation and properties to allow easy and rapid application, reduced labour costs, and high success rates inthe crop.

The unique properties of Buddy Tape are as follows:

• elasticity - Buddy Tape can be stretched to upto eight times its original length.
• self-adhesion - Buddy Tape is not adhesive in its normal stored form, bet becomes self-adhesive when stratched.
• water-proofing. The film has a wax content to keep it waterproof, so the bud or graft will not dehydrate, 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.
• biodegradability -  The tape biodegrades naturally in exposure to sunlight within 5-6 months.
• perforations eliminate necessary to cut away standard tapes.
