Use this film for: Crops where the structure will not be heated but a small degree of frost prevention is desireable and where reduced summer temperatures would be an advantage. All plants with red in their leaves, fruit or flowers also benefit and will have a better colour.
Sunmaster TCF/AF uses the latest Thermal Heat Barrier (THB) which we call TCF (Temperature Control Film). Not only does it diffuse the light which minimises scorching but it also penetrates better to the lower leaves of the plant which makes for a more efficient plant. It also reflects back the heat part of the sunlight in summer. This lowers the leaf or fruit temperature, as well as the operators temperature, and with adequately ventilated structures the leaf/fruit or operators temperature can be lower inside the greenhouse than it is outside. This does not lower the temperature when the sun is not shining brightly. Because of reduced water stress TCF films can lead to higher yields and reduced water consumption.
