Durable Polythene Films for Superior Crop Protection
Alpha Hydroponics Polythene Films are high-quality, UV-stabilised covers designed for greenhouses, hydroponic systems, and drip irrigation setups. Engineered to enhance light transmission, conserve moisture, and protect crops, these films are essential for maximising agricultural productivity in Kenya’s diverse farming environments.
Specifications
| White greenhouse films | They for fruiting crops such as tomato, capsicum, chilies, strawberry, and cucumber, or bi/ multi colored flowers. This is because these crops need to make a higher amount of food. To do so, they need more light for this photosynthetic process. Clear paper allows in more light |
| Yellow greenhouse films | For non fruiting crops such as herbs and spices, or mono color flowers which grow well even under lower light intensity |
Features
- UV Stabilization: Built to withstand harsh sunlight, ensuring long-lasting performance without degrading under UV exposure.
- High Light Transmission: Provides excellent light diffusion, maximizing sunlight exposure while reducing heat spots for balanced plant growth.
- Moisture Retention: Reduces water evaporation, conserving moisture within the greenhouse and reducing irrigation needs.
- Thermal Insulation: Offers superior insulation properties that help maintain stable temperatures, reducing the need for artificial heating.
- Tear-Resistant: Manufactured from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) that is tough, flexible, and resistant to tears, punctures, and weather elements.
- Anti-Drip Technology: Coated to prevent condensation droplets from falling on plants, minimizing the risk of disease and enhancing light diffusion.
- Versatile Application: Suitable for use in greenhouses, low tunnels, mulching, and other protective agricultural needs.
Benefits
- Enhanced Crop Growth: By optimizing light and temperature conditions, the films create an ideal microclimate for faster and healthier plant growth.
- Extended Growing Seasons: Protects crops from extreme weather conditions, allowing farmers to extend growing seasons and boost yields.
- Water Conservation: Minimizes water loss through evaporation, helping farmers save on water usage and irrigation costs.
- Pest and Disease Control: Acts as a barrier against pests and environmental contaminants, reducing the need for chemical treatments.
- Energy Efficiency: Insulating properties lower energy consumption by maintaining consistent temperatures within the greenhouse.
- Cost-Effective Solution: Durable and long-lasting, these films offer a high return on investment by reducing maintenance and replacement costs.
Use Cases
- Greenhouse Covering: Ideal for commercial and small-scale greenhouses, providing superior crop protection and climate control.
- Hydroponic Systems: Enhances environmental conditions in hydroponic setups, ensuring stable temperatures and light exposure.
- Mulching: Used as mulch film to conserve soil moisture, control weeds, and improve crop yield in open-field farming.
- Low Tunnels and Shade Structures: Perfect for low tunnels and shade nets to protect young plants from harsh weather and pests.
Size/Color Options
- Sizes: Available in various thicknesses (100 microns, 150 microns, 200 microns) and widths to fit different greenhouse and farming needs.
