UV-Silo®

allg. Silotec GmbH issue you a 10-year guarantee on its UV-silo®'s. They are fabricated in such a way that no protection against sunlight (UV-rays) is required.

The source material of our UV-silo®'s is KoSa high-strength polyester yarn. Hoechst AG, the former manufacturer of this polyester fibre, conducted tests in the early 1970s in the Frankfurt/Main area under the brand name of TREVIRA-HOCHFEST to assess its resistance to sunlight and ultra-violet radiation.

The tests showed that the black thread in the yarn is much more UV-resistant than the white one. The full test results have been published in the brochure "Technical Information – UV-Resistance of TREVIRA-HOCHFEST by Hoechst AG“.

The black thread in this special fabric is the most effective in resisting ultra-violet rays in the UV-silo®. In the weave the black thread runs vertically (warp) and the white thread horizontally (woof). This special fabric makes our UV-silo®'s unique.

Furthermore the seams and fabric of our UV-silo®'s are manufactured to a reliability standard six times higher than other products. This why we offer a 10-year guarantee on the material.

The construction of our UV-silo®'s means that protective measures against sunlight are not required. You do not need to darken windows or lighting panes or apply protective anti-UV paints.

Our UV-silo®'s can be used in many different environments, including::

  • Agriculture
  • Cattle breeding
  • Horse-keeping
  • Private houses
  • Industry
  • Zoos and botanical gardens
