Infrared

The multi-layer construction and special polymers usage result in a smooth film that prevents dust accumulation on the outside. This is an important feature to ensure maximum light transmission and ease of film cleaning.

Anti-mist

Mist forms in a greenhouse when the temperature drops and the relative humidity reaches a saturation point.Mist has a negative impact on the plants, when the leaves are subjected to a thin moist layer. Mist blocks out the sun’s rays in the morning.

Anti-fog/Anti-drip

Hot air contains more moisture than cold air. At night, the temperature inside the greenhouse decreases, resulting in the water vapour condensing in the air to form small, distinct droplets. The effect of fog formation:
– light transmission reduction with consequent reduction in growth.
– dripping on the plants causes diseases
In order to prevent these effects, special additives are added to modify the film surface so that the water droplets are spread into a continuous, invisible water layer.

Thermal additives and IR

During the day, the greenhouse air heats up. At night, when the outside temperature cools down, with regular cover, there is a loss of heat from the greenhouse by radiation towards the outside, and the greenhouse temperature is reduced by re-emitting radiation in the infrared range. To prevent this radiation loss, special additives are incorporated within the greenhouse plastic film. These additives block the IR radiation and help maintain the temperature in the greenhouse, preventing frost and low-temperature damage.

Light Diffusion

Direct sunlight (undiffused light) can cause a “shadow” effect and “sunburns”. Light diffusing additives will scatter the direct light, thereby preventing the shadow effect and sunburns. The light diffusion increases the photosynthetic efficiency by providing more homogeneous light from all directions. This is advantageous to crops with self-shading characteristics, such as cucumbers, tomatoes, squash, roses and others. The film is suitable for an area with high radiation.
