Greenhouse Coating AntiCondens

AntiCondens What is AntiCondens? Condensation droplets on the inside of greenhouse windows are a nuisance. All those droplets together can cause light loss. What’s more, when droplets fall on the crop the disease pressure rises. AntiCondens is the solution to avoiding these problems. Once dried, this product creates a hydrophilic layer that causes condensation to run off the surface, thus preventing the formation of water droplets. This provides up to 5% additional light and prevents damage and diseases. Benefits -AntiCondens canImproved transmission increases yield and saves energy -Two versions: for greenhouse glass and plastic film -Water-based, safe to use -AntiCondens lasts the entire season More light = more production Over the course of the year, for about half the time the glass is wet with condensation. This causes light loss. Researchers at Wageningen University have found that the way the condensation forms on glass and plastic makes a big difference to the amount of light lost. Droplets cause serious light loss, while a thin, even layer of condensation can actually increase light ingress. In addition, research shows that the formation of condensation droplets reduces light transmission through ordinary horticultural glass by 5%. This is a particular problem during the low light months, resulting in loss of production. As a rule of thumb, 1% more light produces 1% more production.
