Sterilite
Premium
Description:
3 Layer, long life (5year UV warranty) colourless, high
diffusing,
anti-dripping (AF), UV blocking Greenhouse film.
Composition: M-LLDPE, PE 180mu
Total light transmission in the 400-700 nms as % 88%
Average % of Diffusion in the 400-700 nms as % 60%
UV transmission from 300-399 nms Closed
Use this
film for:
Crops
that you want to grow without using chemicals and all crops
that will be heated. Many growers use this for Bedding plants
as well as Nursery stock.
New
Sterilite TCF
is not only 10-15% cooler than previous version but has
good diffusion which research has shown gives a more even
crop and can increase yield, as well as a more comfortable
working environment.
This is probably the most advanced film on the planet. Not
only does it reflect a large part of the Near Infra Red
but it also blocks UV to 390nms, which research shows has
proven reduces both Botrytis and Mildew as well as Aphids.
Also included in Sterilite Premium is an anti fog agent
which breaks down the surface tension of the condensation
droplets so that they run down the sheet, reducing drips
and retaining light clarity. Although we use SuperStrength
technology, we have so many filters in the film that we
cannot make it any thinner. Sterilite Premium is also highly
thermally efficient giving you upto 4°C frost protection
and saving around 15% of your heating costs. |
Sun
Master
Description:
3 Layer, long life (5year UV warranty) colourless, high
diffusing,
anti-dripping (AF), UV blocking Greenhouse film. Looks slightly
white because of diffuser
Composition: M-LLDPE, PE 150mu
Total light transmission in the 400-700 nms as % 88%
Average % of Diffusion in the 400-700 nms as % 60%
UV transmission from 300-399 nms Open
Use this film for:
Crops where the structure will not be heated but a small
degree of frost prevention is desireable and where reduced
summer temperatures would be an advantage. All plants with
red in their leaves, fruit or flowers also benefit and will
have a better colour.
Sunmaster TCF/AF uses the latest Thermal Heat Barrier (THB)
which we call TCF (Temperature Control Film). Not only does
it diffuse the light which minimises scorching but it also
penetrates better to the lower leaves of the plant which
makes for a more efficient plant. It also reflects back
the heat part of the sunlight in summer. This lowers the
leaf or fruit temperature, as well as the operators temperature,
and with adequately ventilated structures the leaf/fruit
or operators temperature can be lower inside the greenhouse
than it is outside. This does not lower the temperature
when the sun is not shining brightly. Because of reduced
water stress TCF films can lead to higher yields and reduced
water consumption.

SuperStrength
Clear
Description:
3 Layer, long life (5year UV warranty) colourless (Glass
clear),anti-dripping (AF), UV open Greenhouse film.
Composition: M-LLDPE, PE 150mu
Total light transmission in the 400-700 nms as % >90%
Average % of Diffusion in the 400-700 nms as % <25%
UV transmission from 300-399 nms Open
Use this film for:
Wherever you are used to using a clear film and where maximum
direct sunlight is desireable. Also use this film on very
exposed sites for resistance against winds.
Superstrength Clear uses our tried and tested LLDPE Metalocene
technology to give a very high strength “glass clear”
film. For those growers that are used to growing under a
clear film and where maximum light transmission is essential.
Also included in our SuperStrength Clear film is an Anti
Fog agent which breaks down the surface tension of the condensation
droplets so that they run down the sheet, reducing drips
and retaining light clarity.
The UV open characteristics of this film means that plants
grow as sturdily under this cover as they would if they
were outside. All plants with red in their leaves, fruit
or flowers also benefit and will have a better colour.

SmartGreen
Description:
3 Layer, long life (5year UV warranty) Green Pfr reducing.
Anti-dripping (AF),
Greenhouse film. UV open
Composition: M-LLDPE, PE 150mu
Total light transmission in the 400-700 nms as % >65%
Average % of Diffusion in the 400-700 nms as % 30%
UV transmission from 300-399 nms Open
Use this film for:
Growing shade loving plants. This includes Camellias, Hosta’s,
Ferns, Rhododendrons Ilex, Laurels etc
SmartGreen reduces the far red part of the spectrum more
than the near red. This more closely matches the light spectrum
on a forest floor or under a woodland canopy.
A forest canopy is not just darker but the canopy plants
have absorbed much of the red spectrum and so plants that
have evolved and adapted to grow in these conditions don’t
do as well in full sun conditions. The green tint is merely
because the filter we use turns it that colour. By mimicking
the shade of a forest floor, it also makes it a cooler environment
to work in.
The new SmartGreen is also UV open so that plants grow more
sturdily than under normal polythene films or under glass.
We have also added the Anti Fog (AF) additive to reduce
dripping and retain light clarity.
SmartGreen is made using our SuperStrength technology to
make the film stronger and more gale proof than ordinary
UVI/EVA films.

SmartBlue
Description:
3 Layer, long life (5year UV warranty) Blue Pr reducing.
Anti-dripping (AF), Thermic, Greenhouse film. UV open
Composition: M-LLDPE, PE 150mu
Total light transmission in the 400-700 nms as % >65%
Average % of Diffusion in the 400-700 nms as % 30%
UV transmission from 300-399 nms Open
Use this film for:
Dedicated bedding growers. A different approach but growers
who are using it wonder how they managed before. Also used
by some nursery stock growers.
SmartBlue GR reduces the near red part of the spectrum more
than the far red. this stimulates natural triggers on the
plants which reduces the height of many plants and is also
useful in holding them in good condition so that they remain
saleable longer. It is only Blue because the filter we use
turns it that colour. Plant flowering will be delayed by
about 2 weeks. Plants have a shorter internodal length,
better basal branching and enhanced leaf colour. GPR’s
can be reduced or eliminated entirely. Also gives a cooler
environment on hot days.
Our SuperStrength technology is used on this film making
it thinner yet stronger than other normal films on the market.
It also has the Anti drip additive which breaks down the
surface tension of the condensation droplets which makes
them run down the film which helps retain light clarity.
We have also made this film slightly thermic which should
give around a 2°C frost protection as well as saving
you around 10% on your heating costs.

Clear
Polythene
This
is a basic clear cover for general all round uses and has
a light transmittance of approximately 90%. 720g UVI / EVA
polythene is the least expensive in our range. |
Luminance
THB-AF
720G
thermal barrier film that has been developed to achieve better
control of summer temperatures while retaining overnight temperatures.
This polythene also has the added advantage of an anti-condensation
additive which reduces dripping in your tunnels and also reduces
heat build up due to hot weather providing a more comfortable
working environment and less plant scorching. Although this
polythene has an Opaque white appearance, a high level of
light is still achieved, approximately 90% |
Polytherm
Plus
Polytherm Plus combines excellent
mechanical strength and anti- fogging properties whilst maintaining
a clear, high light transmission film. The heat retaining
characteristics of the film provide the warmest conditions
in the winter and overnight, and fast warm-up and plant development
in the spring. Polytherm Plus provides broad band absorption
of ultra-violet light which assists in the control of botrytis
and downy mildew. Aphids and whitefly infestations can also
be inhibited. The behaviour of pollinating insects may be
affected and the development of some plant or flower colours
and fragrances may be inhibited. 90% light transmission.
