The
selection of raw materials, in collaboration
of with petrochemical industries, and
the use of three-layer co-extrusion technology
guarantees achievement of the highest
quality plastic films for greenhouse covers.
With its partnership with European manufacturers
GreenZone imports various types of plastic
film for the industry.
Ultraviolet
Protection (UV)
Sunlight is the primary detrimental factor
in the ageing of greenhouse covers. The
addition of UV stabilizers and antioxidants
protects the film from the harmful effect
of UV light and heat for long periods.
To ensure that the film reach its recommended
life span, an extra 15-20% more UV additive
than required is added. This is the reason
why in most cases the film stays undamaged
for longer than the recommended periods.
GreenZone's Polysun range of films are
stabilized for 36 months' duration but
are also available in 24-month and 12-month
stabilization packages on request.
Thermic
effect (IR)
The thermic effect is achieved with the
additions of a combination of EVA and
If ra-Red (IR) additives placed in the
3 layers of the film. These additives
absorb the IR radiation and reduces heat
loss throughout the night. This decreases
the climatic fluctuations inside the greenhouse
and allows it to become 4-7 C warmer in
winters and 5-7 C cooler in summer.
Light
Diffusion (%)
In the case of diffused greenhouse film
the sunlight that penetrates is evenly
disbursed evenly inside the greenhouse.
Diffusion benefits plant growth by reducing
shadows and creating more uniform light
distribution. This allows light to reach
even the lower parts of plants and prevents
burning by direct light with creating
a moderate cooling effect. GreenZone can
order film with increased or decreased
diffusion according to specific requirements.
Anti-Drip
Effect (AD)
With anti-drip films the droplets that
form on the inside of the greenhouse's
film due to condensation are eliminated.
This is achieved with the addition of
special additives that increases the surface
temperature between the film and droplets.
A continuous thin layer of water is formed
that runs of to the side without dripping
on the plants. By decreasing the droplets
on the inside of the film the light transmission
increases and the spread of disease by
means of droplets decreases.

Selective Films
UV Blocking Films(AV)
Films which absorb UV radiation up to
375 nm. These films control the spread
of certain diseases be reducing the sporulation
of the relevant fungi. This reduces the
movements of aphips thrips and other insects
in the greenhouse .Furthermore, this additive
also reduces the blackening of rose petals.
Pigmented
Films
Films that incorporate selected additives
and pigments to modify the light spectrum
entering the greenhouse and then changing
the growth behaviour of plants.
