Pioneering Sustainable Agriculture
For decades, agri-textiles have played a pivotal role in advancing sustainable agriculture. Thrace NG has been at the forefront of this movement, consistently delivering solutions that enable farmers and growers to increase productivity, enhance quality, ensure safety, and uphold eco-conscious practices.
The Power of Flame-RetardantGroundcover
Our white flame-retardant halogen-free groundcover fabric, engineered to encompass comprehensive weed control properties, is a game-changer for modern greenhouse facilities. Its exceptional qualities make it indispensable in agricultural operations:
Proven Durability
Rigorous testing conducted at Thrace Greenhouses has revealed that, even after 3 years of continuous use, the fabric retains an impressive 70-85% of its initial tensile strength. After 7 years, it maintains a substantial 60-70%. This robustness ensures long-term benefits for growers and farmers.
Optimized Photosynthesis
The fabric excels at reflecting 70-75% of wavelengths within the visible spectrum back to the plants’ canopy, significantly enhancing photosynthetic activity. The result is higher yields and superior quality for
greenhouse-grown vegetables, earning it widespread acclaim among experts in the field.
Enhanced Safety and Savings
Beyond its light-reflecting capabilities, our flame-retardant fabric serves as a crucial safety measure for growers. In fully automated greenhouse facilities, it minimizes the risk of fire spread, ultimately reducing insurance costs. This added layer of protection ensures peace of mind for greenhouse operators.
