Greenhouse covering film SUNCOVER

Ginegar’s Sun Cover films are made of polyethylene with improved mechanical properties, stabilized UV protection and anti-drip properties. Available as transparent or light-diffusing cover films, they offer different UV radiation penetration levels (complete blockage, partial penetration or full penetration), and also contain anti-dust additives that reduce dust absorption. 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. The Anti Mist additive is used with Anti Drip cover films to minimize the occurrence of fog inside the greenhouse. This enables maximal transmittance of light radiation in the early morning hours; contributes significantly to reducing heating costs; reduces contamination caused by landscape diseases; improves the passage of light, and also reduces leaf diseases such as phytoftora and Botrytis.
