Thedevelopment of 7 - layer applied science formed the fundament for the production of more sophisticated greenhouse films . Now Plastika Kritis from Greece ( www.plastikakritis.com ) supply layer an 8th layer on the airfoil of the film . " We ’re raising the standards of anti - dripping effectualness . "
Anti - dripping“Traditional anti - dripping films bear additives that transmigrate to their surface and are bit by bit eat within 1 - 2 years , ” say Dimitris Doukas , Export Manager of the farming film partition at Plastika Kritis . “ This leave the film cover with droplets that cut light and damage works . For agriculturist , that means rock-bottom yield , poorer harvest quality and ask an increased use of pesticide . ”
for counter this , many growers replace their movie before the end of their useful lifetime , so a longer live enhancer will cut down on cost . Plastika Kritis develop the EVO AC moving-picture show as an solvent to this . The troupe is known for their greenhouse picture solutions and research & developing action .
8 layersThanks to the investment in their Iraklion adroitness , the EVO AC films consist of 8 bed , “ Our EVO AC films are equipped with a non - migrant anti - dripping system based on nano - materials for the longest - lasting anti - dripping effect . This Modern method acting has been developed by our Research & Development squad , target to pass the boundaries of existing technology of greenhouse films . ” says Dimitris .
EVO AC films have been in use for 4 years now , and customers account that the anti - dripping effect still being to the full active . This goes even for cold climate when the temperature drop below -10 ° C ( 14F ) . " EVO AC films do under very low temperature . And , in addition , EVO AC films are also effective at crushed roof slopes than traditional anti - dripping pic , which need a 30 ° inclination to perform well . "

MistAnother serious problem that pass off with traditional anti - dripping films is the creation of mist ( fog ) inside the glasshouse , commonly at dawn and sunset . “ Mist reduces Light Within and causes humidness to nail down on the plants , create conditions that favour fungal diseases . In fact , many growers avoid using anti - dripping films for veneration of the mist . " fit in to Dimitris , due to their special composition , EVO AC movie do not cause mist and , in addition , provide more light source to record the greenhouse . “ This becomes even more marked when light incidence is low . ”
To optimize the production , there are various possibility to suit every climate : extra strong cloth , heat retention , or high direct visible radiation . Various levels of dispersion can be realised , as well as films can be made UV - blocking or ultraviolet light - open to optimise the enhancer for sure crops .
What fall out after the 8 - level greenhouse films?The scientists have worked on various 8 - bed solutions , one of the first being created is also the EVO2 AC for double high-sounding greenhouse . " It is a individual film that easily separates into 2 different motion picture by introducing strain between its layers,”Dimitris show . “ The taboo pic maximizes the amount of light add up into the greenhouse , while the inner thermic cinema minimizes heat losses , and is of track outfit with the EVO AC anti - dripping technology . All in all , it permit promiscuous , faster , more economical and safe facing of double - high-sounding greenhouses . "
A 2d 7 - stratum line is to be installed at Plastika Kritis Heraklion works in mid - August of this year . So , delay tune up for more 8 - bed novel root !
