The cooling effect is achieved through : Reflection of NIR light on the surface of the film Diffusion of light through the film Absorption of short IR rays by the film Our cooling films combine these 3 effects ideally in order to allow the optimum photosynthesis of the protected crop.

Greenhouse Covering Films – Essen Multipack Limited

The main purpose of the Greenhouse Covering is to create a controlled internal environment regardless of the external environment for protected cultivation. With better control, a better crop yield and quality can be achieved. These covering films do the job of controlling light, temperature and physical protection of the crop from winds, rains, snow etc and maintain a controlled environment inside, in different climatic conditions. This creates a possibility to extend the growing season, fresh fruits, flowers & vegetables all round the year.

Greenhouse cover or greenhouse film uses polyethylene sheet for covering crops. It optimizes light transmittance and minimizes temperature fluctuations apart from protecting & enhancing crop growth and harvest. It excellently protects the crops like capsicum, cucumber, tomatoes, strawberries & flowers like roses, gerbera, carnation etc. against climate aggressions and insects as well as gets earlier higher crop yield with exceptional insulation for a relatively shorter period. Farmers, technicians and entrepreneurs are provided training on greenhouse construction, crop selection, overall greenhouse management, marketing of products etc.

ADVANTAGES

Cooling Effect

The cooling effect is achieved through :

Reflection of NIR light on the surface of the film
Diffusion of light through the film
Absorption of short IR rays by the film
Our cooling films combine these 3 effects ideally in order to allow the optimum photosynthesis of the protected crop.

Thermal Effect

During the day, the solar rays (short IR) enter and warm the greenhouse air and soil. During the night, the greenhouse cools and the soil releases the heat stored (long IR). Our thermal films better retain the long IR to improve the protection of the crops from frost and ensure a better and earlier yield.

Outstanding Durability & Warranty

Suncool greenhouse cover films are guaranteed for several seasons (from 1 to 5 years), depending on each case and location. The usual conditions of laying and use are available from Essen and its distributors.

Direct or Diffusing Light Effect

As opposed to diffusing films with dispersed scatter rays, crystal films allow rays of light to penetrate directly to the plant. The Suncool range offers a wide choice of crystal and diffusing films adapted to each crop : • Diffusing films specifically for high crops, which optimize photosynthesis, reduce burns, and allow early harvest. • Crystal films in order to capture the maximum of light for low crops, and then improve the yield.

Anti-drip Effect

The condensation of water droplets on the film has an important influence on the crop : • Reduction of light transmission due to refraction of light by the droplets. • Plant burning due to the magnifying glass effect. • Weakening of certain crops from dripping.
