As the days shorten and natural light diminishes, maintaining optimal light conditions in greenhouses becomes crucial. NOWOGREEN® ETFE films offer a superior covering solution for industrial greenhouse operations, ensuring plants receive the necessary light for healthy growth and higher yields during the challenging autumn and winter months. The beneficial features at a glance:
Self-Cleaning Properties
Thanks to its high surface tension, water and dirt do not adhere to the surface. Rain simply washes off all residues, maintaining a clean surface and optimal light transmission without the need for frequent cleaning. This is particularly beneficial in autumn and winter when weather conditions can lead to more debris and dirt accumulation.
Condensation Prevention
NOWOGREEN® features an innovative hydrophilic coating on the inside, which prevents condensation droplets from forming. The rising condensation drains off the surface in a controlled manner. This prevents the film from fogging up and guarantees excellent UV transmission during the darker months and even minimizes the risk of burn marks on the crops.
Thermal Energy Storage
To store the thermal energy generated by solar radiation during the daytime, ETFE films can be installed as double-layer systems. This setup reduces high temperature fluctuations between day and night, as the films inhibit heat radiation during the night. This allows energy costs for greenhouse operation to be reduced by approximately 30 %.
Durability
ETFE films can withstand extreme weather conditions, including lasting high UV radiation, heat, cold, and hail, with a lifespan of over 30 years. This long-term durability
