Light for growth
Photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) transmission matters for crops. Dust and aging can reduce it.

Material, UV & specifications
A COVER FOR YOUR CROP
Know your material.
Multilayer agricultural film for greenhouses and crop-specific light management.
- Construction
- Five-layer line; reference gauges: 600 / 720 / 800 / 1000 (150 / 180 / 200 / 250 µm).
- UV protection
- UV stabilizer; grades may include IR, anti-drip, anti-dust and pesticide resistance.
- Reference service life
- Solar-degradation reference: 2 years for 720/800 gauge and 3 for 1000. Verify grade.
Where it works best
Cover for microclimate and light management; translucent, diffusing or white options.
Installation and care
Gauge, dimensions and properties must suit the structure and crop. Sold by full roll; commercial dimensions require confirmation.
Data applies to the described product lines. Service life depends on model, installation and exposure; it is not a blanket warranty for every option.
Preparation and shipping
Rolls: 1–2 days of preparation before dispatch.
Mexico: free shipping on orders over MXN $2,000 with up to 20 made-to-measure pieces. Orders up to MXN $2,000: MXN $150 shipping. Rolls always have a shipping charge; rolls and orders over 20 pieces require shipping confirmation before payment. US shipping: to be confirmed.

Greenhouse covers, sold by full roll.
The cover connecting light and crops.
UV: material durability
UV stabilizers help delay plastic degradation. This does not mean every film blocks UV radiation in the same way.
Purposeful additives
IR, anti-drip and diffusion are different functions. Confirm them in the film sheet rather than assuming them for every roll.

Inside your material
Composition, fabric and technology: understand each feature and choose the right option.
- Material and construction
- Documentation describes five-layer agricultural films with different formulations and additives. Confirm the exact resin blend in the selected roll’s sheet; do not assume identical composition across all films.
- UV stabilization
- The catalogue declares a UV stabilizer for resistance to solar degradation. It does not publish one universal concentration or UPF rating. UV transmission, PAR transmission and plastic stabilization are separate parameters.
- Options and differences
- The consulted line includes IR technology, anti-drip, anti-dust and pesticide resistance depending on formulation. IR concerns thermal radiation; anti-drip concerns condensation. Chemical resistance does not mean unlimited compatibility with every product.
- Service-life reference
- The consulted technical catalogue provides a 24-month solar-degradation reference for its five-layer line. Confirm current roll-specific conditions; this is not a general warranty against tears, hail or chemicals.
- Format and finishing
- Documented thickness references: gauge 600 / 150 µm for high tunnels; 720 / 180 µm and 800 / 200 µm for greenhouses. These are technical-line options, not confirmed inventory. Roll width, length and price are confirmed before purchase.
- Installation and maintenance
- Avoid abrasion and sharp supports. Follow film installation orientation and chemical-use instructions. Dirt and aging affect available light; the cover, ventilation and irrigation must work together.
Technical information describes documented product lines. Confirm the selected model’s sheet; specifications do not automatically transfer between lines.
Before you choose
Are UV, IR and AC the same?
No. Here UV refers to material stabilization, IR to thermal radiation retention, and AC to condensation management. Formulations can combine different functions.
Does film replace ventilation?
No. The cover is one part of the system; ventilation, irrigation and management remain necessary.
What should I confirm about a roll?
Width, length, thickness, light transmission and additives. Greenhouse film dimensions must be confirmed; do not assume the same format as netting.
Research data are technical references. Performance depends on the material, installation and operating conditions.
