Anti-Condensate Films

Why Use Anti-Condensate Films?

Formation of condensation inside a greenhouse is a major issue in a polyethylene greenhouses.  Condensation droplets have been shown to reduce light transmission by as much as 50%.   In addition to a of light quality, crop damage/spots, washout on seed beds and possible pathogen development may also occur.  All of AT Plastics' anti-condensate films contain surface tension modifiers to prevent the formation of these condensation droplets.

 

Longevity of the Anti-Condensate Feature

There are many factors that will influence the longevity of the anti-condensate feature of all polyethylene films.  Some factors that affect anti-condensate performance are:
bulleta very warm season
bulleta very humid/rainy season
bulletincreased plant transpiration caused by high irrigation rates
bulletpoor airflow
bulletventilation practices
bulletinsufficient film slope
