Cover films with UV protection and Anti-Drip properties.
By incorporating an IR additive, thermal cover films absorb and reflect infra-red radiation in the range between 7-15 microns (radiation reflected from all bodies in the greenhouse).
This reduces the loss of energy accumulated in the plant foliage into the atmosphere, and prevents the cooling of the foliage at night which is essential to maintaining higher foliage temperatures – especially on cold nights.
Moreover, when the foliage temperature is higher than the air temperature, the plants are drier and this reduces incidents of landscaping diseases.
The use of thermal cover films with the IR additive has been shown to increase crop yield in comparison to cover films without the IR additive. In addition, thermal cover films contribute to heating cost savings.
When the relative humidity in the greenhouse rises significantly, water condensation occurs, and droplets accumulate on the cover films, plants and other objects in the greenhouse. To prevent this from occurring, we use an anti-drip (AD) additive, which flattens the water droplets into a layer of water that runs down the sides of the greenhouse.
As a result and in addition to this, our Anti-Drip cover films also reduce the need for pesticides, delay the onset of diseases, significantly improve light transmission, promote early harvesting, and contribute to enhanced yield quantity and quality.
